@akareilly Dutch children regularly top polls for the happiest and most well adjusted in the world.
One of the main reasons for this is the country’s cycling infrastructure gives them autonomy from an early age.

@gatesvp @blogdiva @Nicovel0 I have the same reaction when right-wing conservative types are anti-cycling.
Cycling ticks so many preppers' boxes:
• No government paperwork
• No surveillance
• No big corp lock-in
• Use your own power (literally 'stand on your own two feet’)
• No reliance on foreign oil
• It is the number one freedom tool.

@Techaltar In the same vein, UK users of Autotrader.co.uk should be aware any links to its ads will contain the postcode you searched with.
As UK postcodes are very geographically specific, this is potentially a serious bit of self-doxing.
Here is a random example with Buckingham Palace's postcode (SW1A 1AA).

Interesting but still doesn't solve the problem that 50% of pedestrians want you to sound your bell, and the other 50% don't want it.

@GeofCox I’ve always wondered what the cost of fares collection is.
Systems, apps, account management, back office, ticket machines, readers, maintenance, inspectors, updates, fare negotiations teams, press releases, explanatory documents.
It’s quite a cost.
I'm in Chamonix at the moment, and I’m driving and cycling rather than using the bus because this is just too complicated for me.

@helenczerski There are plenty of very early films on YouTube, some made from trams, of Victorian and Edwardian roads.
It's fascinating to watch the crowds of people on them. It's obvious roads belonged to everyone. Not just children playing but vendors and their wares, people chatting, people strolling, crossing, cycling, delivery men, workers, people busking, all of life was there - not just motor carriages passing at speed.
We have lost all this.
