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

"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

New! #3CR #podcast: Lena Huda: 30kmh as default urban speed limit, Slow Down Day and #Micromobility Conference
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

The impact of new bike lanes (in Frankfurt):
"Better cycling infrastructure does not only improve conditions for cyclists, but also contributes to a higher quality of urban life for residents."
@Dave42W @derekvanvliet clarifying that last point:
The infrastructure that works for a confident cyclist works only for that group
The infrastructure that works for the most vulnerable and least confident works for *everyone*
Round of applause please for r/Melbourne soundly thrashing Bruno's 💩 take on Melbourne bike lanes
