@chrisboden.bsky.social Since you posted a recent video about how you like big caps, I thought I would share my latest find, 500f at 2.7 volts. I have two, if wired in series I get 5.4 volts and 250f.

What if we taxed suburban sprawl properly?

oh hey a whole section of my book on this

This is being appallingly undercovered

Reducing car dependency is a key tool in defending democracy in a whole lotta ways.

The USA has spent $2.85 Trillion on roads and highways in the last decade and traffic still hasn’t been fixed.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Cumo is a bigger joke that Curtis Sliwa, and that’s pretty pathetic! You are the mayor NY needs!

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €. Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day. Leadership.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,653,727! It’s time to leave the cesspool of twitter for good! (haven’t even logged into that shithole in over a month)

From a guy on X. Man sits by me on train. MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here ME: Really? MAN: Loads mate ME: How'd you know? MAN: There's signs aren't there? ME: I guess? MAN: I love them (47 minutes of awkward silence.) Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.

Very interesting read. The UK too?

The toll so far from Kathy Hochul's #CongestionPricing reversal summed up in a single graphic, courtesy of @streetsblognyc.bsky.social. More cars on the road, more pollution in the air, more lives lost to traffic violence, more wasted time, less revenue. A dark day for NYC and the world.

I went back to the beginning and listened to every episode of this podcast since Ep #1. Finally caught up and this is the first I have heard the week it dropped and the first since I signed up for the patreon, and, I would like to say for the record #FuckCars (some cars in particular)

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social CA continues the incredibly myopic drive to normalize covid! apple.news/AMyj5STz1Shm...

Brilliant oldie advert about fining cars that park on pedestrian pavements - from London 1985 Absolutely worth watching @jonworth.eu @ketanjoshi.co @waroncars.bsky.social

I like to add that also politicians, who cycle and walk, do know more about their people. Captain Obvious? Are Cyclists Better People than Drivers? This Study Say So.. A recent study suggests that drivers are less interested in the common good than cyclists. velo.outsideonline.com/urban/are-cy...

We're often told US cities are too car-dependent to change overnight but we now have evidence from two accidental experiments in Philadelphia & Los Angeles where major highways were taken offline overnight, and transit ridership increased dramatically overnight.

Paris's new pedestrian plan is out—& it's pretty amazing: —10 m sq ft of new pedestrian space —100 more "school streets" —Elimination of 7.5 miles of service lanes/parking on major avenues —Increased pedestrian cross times at busy intersections —Added landscaping throughout city
