Les Tennoodois revotent ce dimanche suite à l'annulation des élections communales d'octobre. A cause de procurations irrégulières - délivrées par le bourgmestre.

J'ai besoin d'une procuration pour voter ce dimanche à @sjtnbrussels. Qui valide ma procuration? Le bourgmestre🤡

Nouvelle année, nouveau check de l'évolution du nombre de cyclistes à Bxl
Et l'année commence très fort avec le meilleur mois de janvier ever.

Petit passage en revue des valeurs des différents compteurs dans leur ordre d'importance pour le mois de janvier 2025.
1/

[Henk Swarttouw @copenhenken]

2024 will be the warmest year on record.
~ 25% of Greenhouse Gas emissions is from transport
~ 75% of all transport emissions is from road transport
~ 2/3 of road transport emissions is from cars
~ 1/2 of all car trips is < 5 km and can easily be done by bike.
Just sayin’

@Fidias0 Why are you taking a car to travel less than 1 km? 🚶‍♂️🚴

@JackLovell313: Cycling services are in prime position to spearhead the cycling ecosystem’s transition by showcasing their contribution to a greener, more digital and resilient European economy during the session: European Commission’s report on EU mobility industrial transition.

Brussels Region announced that only 12% of international residents are registered to vote for the municipals in October - a big drop from the last elections 😬

In Brussels a handful of votes can make a big difference.

Let’s do this. As I’ve said in the past, nothing makes a statement on important news close to the newspaper front page. Across America, almost every editor went with the simple fact, “Guilty.”
Let’s start with the biggest circulation. /1

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

A typical European car has 5 seats moving only 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most that does is needed to move the car, not people. It’s parked 92% of the time & spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking.

Sound efficient?

Between all the huge stories this week you may have missed @POLITICOEurope's big news out of central Brussels: New data shows the Good Move mobility plan has led to fewer road accidents, better air quality and higher business revenue within the Pentagon.

8/ The Tories only hope in this election is to elevate sentiment over economics... I think we will see them promise things they've never even mentioned before ... a wild mixture of racist nationalism and paternalist welfare (a year's paid maternity leave for Brits only?) ... but with every year the demographics move against them ...

We need to see more #cyclists on EU roads.

The 🚲European Cycling Declaration🚲lists clear principles for boosting bike use, including:

🟠Infrastructure & investments
🟠Jobs
🟠Tourism
🟠Safety, and more!

Why are cities dominated by highways and cars?

It's partly because of one of the most influential people you've never heard of: Norman Bel Geddes.

In 1939 he created "Futurama", a huge exhibition that tried to predict the future — and ended up changing the world...

The European Declaration on Cycling was signed at the Informal Council meeting with 27 EU Transport Ministers a historic milestone. CIE President Tony Grimaldi emphasized cycling's importance for mobility and economic growth in his speech. Press release:

@AmaralPhilip I love the rush of adrenaline induced by cars overtaking me at 90 km/h on walloon "cycling paths"

'Can we have a chat about our newsletter sponsorship'

Is in all likelihood a conversation that happened this morning.

[Cycling Industries Europe @Cycling_Ind_EU]

It is with deep sorrow that @CONEBI_Bxl and CIE mourn the passing of industry leader, Moreno Fioravanti, who peacefully passed away on February 17. Mr. Fioravanti made historical contributions to the European bicycle industry and he will be deeply missed.
