Couldn't agree more. Absolute madness. Crazy decision from an education and health and wellbeing point of view too. My son is now out in the heat unsupervised. Closing schools whilst also warning of drowning risk is just wrong. What about teaching resilience and importance of attendance and exams? 🤔

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

Popular unpopular opinion: touchscreens in cars meant to be operated by drivers are a terrible idea to the point that they should perhaps be made literally illegal

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc

Tirana has emerged in recent years as the Balkans’ most ambitious cycling city. What began as a modest effort to introduce bike infrastructure has grown into a broader vision of child-friendly urbanism; combining hardware, software, and orgware into a wholistic strategy for reclaiming public space.🧵

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles along protected infrastructure lined with buildings, trees, lighting, and signage in.central Tirana.

For reasons, I was looking up residents' parking permit costs in Amsterdam East this week. €200 for the first permit and €500 for the second. Oh, and that's for 6 months, not a year. If you are near the district centre, you can have one permit; two permits elsewhere. There is no waiting list!

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Spent a lot of time in East Surrey hospital recently. The main takeaway is England needs to thank our lucky stars for immigrants! The black, brown, African and Asian people in there are cleaning, feeding, caring, medicating, comforting and life saving in the most difficult circumstances. Thank you!

Here we have it, clear cut data on why people vote Reform. No hire bikes = Reform votes!
