This is the correct response. When this president is dead, a lot of people need to be held to account. This man has to be stopped, and they all know how deranged he is, and they are profiting off of it.

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled. Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

The many media outlets calling

transport policy a “war on motorists” should try talking to bereaved families and seriously injured survivors of road crashes rather than ignoring the trauma and pain left when people drive without considering the harm they may cause at the wheel.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

A used bike from a cycle shop can cost less than a tank of fuel, but will last for years and thousands of miles with minimal maintenance.

I don't even like the tone of the CW article. The writer is beating himself up over nothing, but also managing beating every other ebike rider up too. It certainly isn't cheating or shameful. Everyone on an ebike is lapping those on the couch or a car seat

Excellent editorial here. An SUV causes 16 times as much road damage as a regular car. They're way more dangerous in collisions or if one hits a pedestrian or cyclist. They have no redeeming factors and 99%+ are just ego wagons for their drivers. Tax them to hell

If a car generates more potholes, takes up more space and poses more risk, it is only fair that its owner pays more

And this isn't even illegal, because pavement parking isn't. It's about as anti-social and dangerous as you could think though.

The strength of language on show from UK papers that might often be more sympathetic to Trump goes to show how strong the pro-Ukraine consensus is in the UK. There's no debate over here, hawkishness towards Russia is the only game in town.
