       "It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them." ~Miguel Anxo, Mayor of #Pontevedra, #Spain (7 times re-elected).#parking (via Cycling Professor on X)

       Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car(How David Zipper comes up with a fresh article on biking a couple of times a week is really beyond me)"All signs indicate that a city full of e-bikes would be safer, healthier, cleaner, and less congested than one dominated by cars—no matter how they are driven."#ebikes https://www.fastcompany.com/90994141/why-2023-was-the-year-of-the-e-bike-and-not-the-self-driving-car

       @futurebird I'm torn between making a thoughtful reply and avoiding repeating myself. Not sure that my followers are that interested in me making the same point 17 times 😀

       @futurebird I have a Python script that pulls my own posts and turns them into HTML. You do have to parse your own links but the BeautifulSoup library makes that simple. Happy to share if you'd like!

       Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates."Cyclists who blow through red lights without endangering anyone else can now be forced to appear in court. Drivers who commit the same violation cannot. Instead, drivers face the same traffic ticket they always have, a moving violation with a fine payable by mail.“It’s a really bad escalation, targeting some of the less dangerous vehicles on the city’s streets”https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/nyregion/ebikes-scooters-cyclists-nyc.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KU8.qZCZ.I7Wk_Y-inyer&smid=url-share#cycling #NewYork

       @futurebird Are you wanting to try to make money in the market, or is this an intellectual exercise?
