Change is happening in Paris @Velib @Smoove_Off @smovengo

189000 journeys on Paris’s Vélib bikeshare yesterday, including 100000 on the electric bikes in their fleet. Vélib has recovered spectacularly after a painful operator change in early 2018, and has also held its own against the rise of escootershares in the French capital.

Similar drops every year from now put us roughly in line with 1.5 degrees. But as a one-off, the 2020 CO2 cuts will have delayed climate impacts by about 6 weeks.

Car2Go.
Lime e-scooters.
Uber Jump e-bikes.
What remains in #Montreal?
Fixed-route transit: buses, métro.
Homegrown solutions: Bixi, Communauto.
Bike lanes.
At best, imported micromobility was a distraction.
At worst, it prevented us from improving tried-and-true transport.

A resource that has been highly useful during my time in the small world of public bike share. Thanks Russ: https://t.co/iPFmBniZV3

This is incredibly sad news. I knew Russell for the last 10 years. He is largely responsible for bikeshare being my research “passion” & encouraged me to think globally & turn BikeShareMap from just a few cities to 500+ there now. He will be hugely missed. Condolences to family.

[Christopher Slade @ChrisPSlade]

A true pioneer nurturing the world of public bike share, thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion. I love the story of you arriving in Lyon in 2006, seeing the concept and taking it back home and eventually making it happen in Phili. Merci Russ.

It is with great sadness that we report long-time Bicycle Coalition Board Secretary, bike share advocate, and community activist Russell Meddin passed away this morning. https://t.co/PvGRoVS1er

Where has MSM journalism and the BBC been for the past decade?

The Heathrow expansion decision sets a very welcome precedent for challenges to ALL climate-crazy investment plans - with coal mines top of the list.

Road schemes may face Heathrow-style court action https://t.co/NlCN2Z93ix

Strong political will backed by investment and quality delivery has led my new home city to be awarded no.1 city in France for cycling https://t.co/VNfu8OeQUw

The result could be a fully pedestrianised square, a car free square with public transport access or partially car free with two sides closed to traffic.
