To great uncertainty and controversy, in 2007, Ljubljana closed 12 hectares of its city center to private cars. Just 40% of residents approved.

A decade later, no less than 97% were against reopening to motor traffic: “None of us can really imagine cars ever staging a comeback”.

Nobody is putting gargoyles on buildings anymore. It can’t be that much more expensive to slap a gargoyle up there. We used to be a proper country.

@malgravajhoj This is not a fun for bicyclists.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

@AllarTankler whoa

@svnee Thank you for reacting, Sven.

I thought it would be good to warn bicycle commuters in Luxembourg that some police officers are giving out tickets for missing items, such as bells and reflectors. A group of bicyclists riding in Strassen on Thursday were given fines of more than 100 euros for missing items.

@driazeredo This is not nice. I don't support this.

@jasper_aerts A friend of mine who lives nearby told me his family would have been fined over 300 euros if they were stopped.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

I was actually fined because I stopped my bike to see why three officers had just pulled over the bicyclist in front of me. I thought the officers wanted to warn us about a road hazard or perhaps were taking a survey about bicycling in the city. I should stop being so curious.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

The officer writing the ticket said he would stop more bicyclists as soon as he was finished citing me. Here is the illegal bicycle that was stopped before mine. This rider was missing side reflectors and a bell, so he received a fine of more than 120 euros.

@ParkerTRichards @dceiver @maxwelltani Don’t know him.

@leecronin I’m not sure you are flexible because the issues are so important. I think you are flexible because the questions you ask are so hard.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

@jamesconnell @Twitter Maybe I should go circle jerk somewhere else.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

@EMP_Wrecker @lexfridman I agree.

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

@JaneidyEve @lexfridman How are Lex’s words on this conflict brave exactly?

[Chris Knight @EIBChris]

@ciprionescu @lexfridman Lex, do you support Putin’s new war or not? Why are you afraid to tell us your opinion?

@CommonSense_FT @JoannaBlythman Nurses and doctors have been wearing masks for more than a hundred years, so I don’t think nurses realised anything new about masks when the pandemic started.
