Just because someone who is literally selling something makes extraordinary unfounded claims about it doesn't make it true You know this about vacuum cleaners; it's embarrassing that you can't hold it in your heads about computers

Vlaamse overheid gaat bloedbad plegen in culturele sector maar bovenal erfgoedsector. Ééntje uitgelicht: provinciale archeologische musea verliezen _alle_ subsidies. Volgende keer dat de regering wil uitpakken met haar groots natieverhaal, smijt een exemplaar van de Vlaamse Canon in hun richting.

An army marches on its stomach The French Navy, in so much as it's possible, sails on a sea of wine. Finding the wine cellar on plans of French warships is one of my favourite games, tbh. There's usually at least one.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

people ask me how I can ride a bicycle in the rain, and I always hesitate to divulge the disturbing secret—to reveal the lengths to which we, the esoteric cult of cyclists, will go in our perversity, in our all-consuming, world-be-damned obsession: water-repellent clothing

The answer (to the headline) is no. Not when ebikes replace car trips, which they are more likely to do than regular bike trips. And research by @trecpdx.bsky.social and others has shown that ebike riders will ride more often and/or farther than regular bikes, making up for some or all lost effort.
