First bare-kneed ride of the year! (Also, first video shot while riding: I do not plan to make a habit of this.)

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets

Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

I photographed this #Tree in #Winter during a #cycle circuit when it was bare. Now, it is starting to bud again and is showing that it is very much still alive. I really like its gnarly shape.

β€˜Rather than being exceptional, Paris has caught up with many other cities from a lower starting point, said Giulio Mattioli, a transport researcher at the Technical University of Dortmund, who used to live in Paris. β€œThe conditions were there already, you just needed to make some bike lanes and people would use them,” he said.’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/05/how-paris-swapped-cars-for-bikes-and-remade-its-streets

Chris Cox explains the moronic laws regarding e-bikes introduced recently in Queensland, which effectively ban 90-95% of legal e-bikes. Why ban? Because in addition to the car driver's licence requirement, which means you need to be minimum 16 years old, and a 10 km/h speed limit on 95% of paths, a sticker with this exact text is required: EN15194 (2017) A+1. My e-bike only has the EN15194 part. Trikes don't comply with EN15194 at all.

I'm always disappointed when I see entirely #carbrain moments here in the #Netherlands. This is #Keukenhof, the popular #tulip fields. The line to park cars wraps around the area for probably 5 kilometers. The nearby town of Hillegom is complete gridlock.

There are nearby #train and #bus terminals. It's a #cycling distance from many cities, and a #bike is a great way to see the tulips.

Some of this is foreign tourists, but many #Dutch people have bought car propaganda.
