New study of Norway concludes that EV promotion should come with traffic restrictions and support for transit/bikes.

Otherwise "EVs can become a moral licensing tool to maintain existing [autocentric] behavior and thus car use levels."

"Out of 176 million people exposed to different stress levels of bike infrastructure, 65.7% are exposed to extremely risky bike infrastructure for their 20 min commute."

RTC and the City want your input on the future of seven downtown Reno streets to be more people focused. A public comment tool is available to learn about the project, review and rate the concepts, and participate in a survey. Please check it out! https://t.co/qtwkaYLjzq

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger https://t.co/NOH2tw5wLm

“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

Stop for a minute and ponder what joke or point this cover is trying to make.

@ncaawomen This officiating in the national championship is trash.

I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

I want to take a minute to show my appreciation for Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who when approached by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, stood strong and passionately up for the children who died this week in Nashville.

Bowman was a teacher in the Bronx and also founded a public middle school in the Bronx. Bowman was then a principal for a decade before running for Congress.

“Calm down? Children are dying. Nine year old children!” Rep. Jamaal Bowman shouted at Massie.

It's people like Bowman who we need leading us into the future.

Thank you Congressman!

It's worth saying again - Build bike lanes good enough to hold hands on #ValentinesDay

We love this image from @modacitylife ♥️♥️♥️

@Jonathan_Maus The same way that we know someone who receives an EV subsidy is using it: we don't.

[Peter Richards @PeterRichards]

Super impressed by the effort of this delivery person, using an eCargo bike on the first day of snow we've had in Toronto in weeks. Don't need much curb space if the method of travel is right-sized

Thanks @accesshollywood, @mariolopezviva & @KitHoover for having the Alameda #BikeBus on!!!! 1/2

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

E-bike makers are starting to get serious about e-trikes (and with Boomers aging, I don't blame them).

A month after Rad Power launched its new model, Lectric has unveiled one that costs just $1,499(!).
