My hearing isn't that good so I am grateful for her clear enunciation. Pity about everything she says though.

Au contraire - global warming sounds cosy and misses out a lot of consequences of heating up the globe.

No reports of mechanical malfunction to explain loss of control. It shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.

The driver was speeding - a conscious decision that could contribute to loss of control and increase the impact.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’” #Paris

Lost control ? Criminal carelessness.

Interesting given that wool seems to have been a big money earner in earlier times.

Those have to be the least convincing wings ever though.

Any government would have hit back hard. The current Israeli is happy with the excuse whereas Hamas is happy with Israel getting international ignominy . A plague on both.

A bit different when the offender is the government of an entity.

LTNs are a useful tool for facilitating active travel. It is self-defeating to accept the reactionaries' evaluation rather than pushing back. @richmondcycling.bsky.social

Um they popped up very fast as soon as the "ceasefire" ( yes I know) was agreed and disposed of any opposition. Both sides can be awful.

Because Hamas fighters are hiding amongst civilians. War is nasty, guerilla war more so.

Careful. Councillors will hear "build demand" and assume that an advertising campaign will do. The conditions for cycling means wide areas not dominated by motor vehicles and that isn't politically cheap.

Awful as her policies are she does talk well unlike Trump's whine and juvenile vocabulary.

A town's commitment to biking is not just building bike lanes, it must include maintenance for continued use. Street sweepers cleaning the bike lanes in Paris. #paris #bike #bikelane

The EU standard for 15mph limit on assistance makes sense. If people want a legal e-motorbike fine but it shouldn't be used in bicycling spaces.

That is clearly racist. " Wouldn't it be nice to have some Jewish presence in the part of the world our old stories refer to" less so. Religious states work for something the scale of The Vatican.

Worked for human health in general but not for the ego of would-be important people in big cars.

Fishing line isn't great at pushing. Thin glass rods would do the trick.

? My point was that races generally don't exist genetically. A lot of Jewish populations are remarkably close (apart from the Ethiopian one.) I suppose Endogamy would have been politer but not a word that sprang to (my) mind.

Not really just clarifying why "Islam isn't a race " does not apply to Judaism.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

Islam isn't a race. Judaism encourages inbreeding resulting in the nearest actual approximation to a race that exists. ( Most of us are thoroughly mongrelised - and so much the better)
