In an effort to reduce the friction between complementary modes of transport, Dutch railway operator NS is rolling out a "smart lock" in Zwolle. 400 rental bikes can be accessed—with no subscription fee—by tapping the same card used to access buses, trams, and trains nationwide.

Huge whistleblower story out of the Beetaloo, with courageous contractors alleging Tamboran Resources kept spraying contaminated Beetaloo water for up to five days. This is one well, what will happen when there are 6000 across the NT? abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…

Fracking of the Beetaloo basin will release a 1.5billion tonne carbon emission bomb. The profits from Beetaloo will go to industry. We’ll be left with the cost of the health care and climate remediation from gas fracking and processing in the NT … theguardian.com/australia-news…

Actually implementing the Fracking Inquiry recommendations as promised is too hard, much easier to just pretend you have done it. No this is not satire - welcome to the NT themonthly.com.au/the-politics/r…

It is more important to control vehicle speed than volume to prevent child pedestrian injuries on residential streets. Remember that signs don't control speed, engineering does. academia.edu/20731889/Child…

I love how easy it is for Denver residents to get their e-bike rebate (up to $1,700): "Unlike some energy-efficiency incentives that give a credit when people pay taxes, the rebate was available at local bike shops as an immediate discount." fastcompany.com/90797714/denve…

Irish families will now be able to deduct the cost of an e-cargo bike (up to €3,000) from their taxable income. That's equivalent to a discount of up to 41%. irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/1…

Bicycles build resilience. Post cyclone in Darwin, with fallen trees blocking streets, cycling was the easiest way to get around.

More cars = less friends. 🚗 People living on streets with heavy traffic do have less friends and less acquaintances on average.

You often hear people who claim that all these EV batteries "will end up in a landfill" because they can't be recycled. They won't. And the opposite problem is taking shape: there's more recycling capacity coming than there is battery scrap available bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Your house shouldn't just be a place where you rest your head at night, but somewhere you feel good coming back to every day! Color is one of the easiest ways to do this, especially with vibrant shades that make the whole block happier. Small things can make a big difference!
