A small gesture with a big meaning: tricycles are now a standard offering from the Bizkaibizi bike share. By adding three-wheeled cycles, Bizkaia is making a powerful statement: cycling is for everyoneâolder adults, those with balance limitations, and riders who feel more confident on three wheels.

Hot take: We should support the Washington Post. Itâs not a money making venture for Bezos and it might disappear. There are excellent journalists there doing exceptional work, & we need them to continue. Ignore the opinion page, like weâve done with the WSJ (whose journalists are also world class).

Good morning! Taxing the wealth of the richest 1% of Americans down to the median wealth of the next-richest 9% ($5.2 million per household) would free up $48 trillion. Redistributing that to the poorest 50% of Americans would give *68 million households* an average of *$700k per household*.
