@chelsea_janes Bravo for an impeccably written article. As good of sports writing as I have read in years.

STUDY: Drivers of bigger vehicles such as pickup trucks & SUVs are more likely to hit & kill pedestrians than drivers of cars. Pedestrian deaths on US roads are up 59% since 2009, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. @USAToday

@PeterSGreenberg Burning heavy fuels with no particle filters; bad pay and working conditions that skirt local labour laws; an over-sized presence in the cities they visit given the small amounts spent per customer; and so much more. The industry has a long way to go...

Winter Vikings ready for action! Not a bad place to start and end our bike tours 🥰

@VartOslo Eller "trygg sykkelvei bygges på St. Hanshaugen"

@SonyKapoor I think the opposite is more interesting. How much is our actual consumption in Norway costing the climate. Same for China -- their emissions are high but that's due to the rest of the world's demand, not China's. Where does Norway rank in that ranking? Probably pretty poorly too

@the_transit_guy Not parks here in Oslo but an immense wilderness with hundreds of lakes, moose, wild berries galore ... surrounds the city on three sides, and the fjord is on the fourth. Stops urban sprawl and gives amazing access to nature to all inhabitants.

Bravo Oslo! Mindre traffik = bedre luft, mindre utslipp, bedre folkehelse!

@VisitOSLO Here was the evening view three hours ago 🥰

Winter bike tours of #Oslo are at their frozen best these days! @VisitOSLO @visitnorway

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

@pekkatahkola @WorldWinterBike In about one hour from now, I will be leading a guided winter bike tour using studded tires, which most of our customers have never tried before, but are always enthusiastic about after the amazing winter biking experience. We ❤️ ❄️🚴‍♀️.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid https://t.co/fP5NYJOkXy

There is no 'War on Cars'.
There is an ongoing massacre on all other road users.

(who is killing who by @ETSC_EU. Our road safety language matters: https://t.co/2FvyXj51v0)

@amazingmap Here in Northern Europe, we have a good number of useless hours of sunshine. Multiple months in the summer have sun at 3am, 4am and 5am for example. So the numbers are slightly inflated, meaning our already low number of sunshine hours feels even less in reality.

@jamessmithPT_ "Get vaccinated to keep the hospitals from getting overrun so other people can access the treatments they need" was not a farce. The vaccines did not reduce transmission as hoped, but massive vaccination certainly saved other people by massively freeing up hospital capacity.

@NBFOslo @sirinstav @RaymondJohansen @Bymiljoetaten Hva med varebilen på toppen av trappa? Er ikke den et problem og? Det finnes på nesten hver eneste gate parkeringsplasser for biler, men få for el-sparkesykler og el-sykler. Vi trenger ikke stativer her og der men parkeringsplasser for (sparke)sykler i hver eneste gate

@andershartmann 25% VAT on electric bikes no matter what the price. A bit ridiculous that a car worth 490,000 kroner is tax free but my e-bike is hit with a heavy VAT. Wrong priorities for sure: we need more 🚴‍♂️ and fewer 🚗

@VisitOSLO From a @VikingBikingOSL tour yesterday, while at the park. Love this time of year
