Belated #biketoot, or whatever it's called, introduction: Yarra Bicycle Users Group advocates for cycling infrastructure, low emissions transport and works toward a safe, comfortable, fit for purpose bicycle network for everyone aged eight to eighty, as age should be no barrier to riding a bike

The future of transportation isn’t the #Hyperloop or self-driving cars. It’s the bus, the bike, & the elevator. Via @Slate
AND it’s better land-use & infrastructure decisions, reprioritizing space & budgets, accessible streets, & smart pricing mechanisms. https://slate.com/technology/2019/10/future-of-transportation-bus-bike-elevator.html

Had a really great time at #criticalmass last night. The sun was hot, but the atmosphere was so lovely and the pub hangs at the end were a perfect vibe. Bike people are so friendly!!

"Kids but no car: Meet one of the rarest families in Melbourne" Interesting framing altho families + ecargobikes would be far from outliers with comparable rebates to EVs, decent state govt cycling infra budgets & 30kmh limits on local streets

Actually that's a reasonable catch
'The incentive program, as reported by The Times, offers many opportunities for those in France to get a little help with that #ebike, but the bling subsidy is actually for those who are swapping their gas-guzzling, greenhouse gas-spewing automobile for an e-bike.
It also only applies to lower income households in specific urban areas'
Rough maths/€ to AUD ($6160.60) #Victoria's existing 'Zero Emissions Vehicle Roadmap' $100m budget could provide approximately 16k #ebikes as car replacement, or contribute towards part thereof
Superior ROI
Reduce emissions
Increased happiness
