Cecilia Vega reports from Spain on the unsolved shooting of a Russian defector. It's part of a pattern of recent falls from top-floor windows, poisonings, and accidental deaths involving a growing number of enemies of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sunday.

I ❤️ (car-free) #Paris!

Starting Nov. 4, 2024, the 5.5 km2 heart of Paris will be closed to through traffic. (Buses, taxis, ambulances, residents' cars will still have access.)

Opponents claim it will make life hell.

Here's what hell looks like, according to them:

ICYMI: "We've done over 700 million trips in the history of Lime. In that time, 99.99% of the trips were incident-free." @wayneting, CEO of @LimeBike, sat down with @technology’s @Lynnmdoan at #BloombergTech to discuss the safety of using micro mobility products.

So all UN agencies will now sanction the nation state terrorizing civilians and obliterating UNESCO sites, yes?

….yes?!

❗️The Russians struck the center of Kharkiv.

The Derzhprom building in Kharkiv is under UNESCO protection and is an architectural landmark.

Voting for Kamala Harris will fight this and support Ukraine to win.
Voting for Putin’s friend TFOG will increase these war crimes.

Your vote in November either defends two democracies.
Or defeats them.

Pay attention.

Name a better way to start your day than biking along the canals, on a sunny morning after a rainy night.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

If your political leadership is ripping out bike lanes, you’re…

The University bike lanes that Ford says he’s ripping out were specifically requested by the CEOs of the hospitals they front so that their nurses, doctors, and staff could get to and from work safely.

This week, the City of Rotterdam opened a beautiful new parking structure for 900 bicycles in the city center—named "De Koopgoot"—which will allow visitors to store their bikes close to shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions in a free, supervised, and sheltered facility.🧵

Across France, people have taken to the streets to protest against road rage, after a car driver intentionally killed a cyclist last week. In 1973, protests in the Netherlands sparked a 50-year long Dutch focus on traffic safety for cyclists.

So let me get this straight. Elon can hand out million dollar checks to voters who sign his petition, but volunteers can’t hand out water to people waiting in line to vote?

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

In Dutch cities and towns, one of the features that first stands out to international visitors is the use of the continuous cycle path.

Rather than treating humans as guests in the car space, the opposite occurs, and the cycle path is seamless by design.

To put the bike lane debate in Toronto in perspective, more people commute by bike each day in Toronto than the entire population that lives in Barrie, Ontario. Or Kingston. Or Guelph. Or Sudbury.

It's pretty rich that the Province wants to tell us how to get around our own city. If they don't like sitting in traffic when they get here, they should go fix regional transit. That is their mess - and the true culprit for congestion in the city.

Anyone who understands physics knows that cyclists are part of the solution.

Winning has fine margins.
Exceptional players change the game.
Still amazed by @CheslinKolbe in this moment.
Kudos to referees for calling it correctly.
