If we're asking people to reduce their power usage, we should absolutely ask people to not drive.

[Benjamin Anderson @bikingbenjamin]

@daninater What an amazing time that would have been.

[Benjamin Anderson @bikingbenjamin]

@JRVisscher @pauljamil Just be safe. It’s a cool car but most people don’t buy a Tesla like this to accelerate to the speed limit. “Launching” is typically a racing culture thing. So it doesn’t need to become a thing we do in pedestrian areas.

[Benjamin Anderson @bikingbenjamin]

@JRVisscher @pauljamil I would beg to differ. Perhaps that person was going under the speed limit. However, what if someone was just stepping out in the street to cross thinking they had a few seconds as the car was still a block away but all of a sudden it’s doing 60? That’s not safe is it?

@GulfstreamAero You simply can’t create a bigger carbon footprint any faster.

[Benjamin Anderson @bikingbenjamin]

@JRVisscher @pauljamil That’s racing not driving.

“It is not by chance that Dutch children are among the happiest and healthiest in the world, and our family’s decision to relocate here was largely motivated by the desire to offer our kids this supportive environment.”

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: https://t.co/DTd5JiahmF

The popularity of e-bikes is increasing rapidly, but a sustainable and user-friendly charging infrastructure is lacking.

Developed at @tudelft, TILER is the world’s first e-bike charging tile, which uses induction to wirelessly charge via the kickstand!

When a house is burning down, firefighters don��t ask about coverage. They put out the fire.

Why don’t we approach our health care system in the same way?

Let’s #PassNYHealthAct & finally give all NYers* universal healthcare.

*even those with mustaches.

Antarctica is melting and there's no way to stop it and it's your fault and it's a catastrophe beyond comprehension. Just FYI.

The world would be a better place if you ate fewer animals.

It would be an even better place if they ate more of you.
