Minimizing city traffic with simple hacks: In the first episode of our new podcast we discuss how London is planning to reduce the city's carbon footprint.
@FleetManager_UK Thanks for the share!
Even small batteries can cause damage to the earth as chemicals are absorbed. It is a worry that the large new batteries may end up in landfill one day. Let's hope recycling companies find innovative solutions
Lovely mention of @bobbyllew's https://t.co/HhXd2kZV2Z on @achrisevans' @VirginRadioUK Breakfast Show this AM.

https://t.co/pkwRanDHNr An old article but still relevant. What happens to electric vehicle batteries when they retire? Ideal scenario- circular economy, recycled and used in solar (Spent battery for cars is ok for solar), then parts reused. Worst case scenario - landfill :(
@TyneTom With the amount of effort that must go into constructing these things, you'd expect they would have someone with a bit of common sense to cast their eye over the layout to make sure there are no dodgy posts smack bang on the middle of the path! Crazy
@TyneTom Ah I hadn't looked at the second and third photos properly. Wow that looks awkward to ride down. Council must have had their best town planners on the case for that one! 😂
@ZMOVE2 I'm not familiar with that one so can't say for sure. We designed this from scratch off the back of some scribbled down notes when we met @madman2 a while back for a coffee. We've developed a shift centric approach which makes the planning much easier
In London around 39% of vans are less than 1/4 full (TfL data). This 100 - 200 kg loads match cargo bike capacities very well.
(Thanks to Oli Ivens @mpSmarterTravel who made this point when I spoke at a recent @BrightonHoveCC meeting)
