And yes, if we can have it #bikeisbest for short journeys and last mile delivery, and a GOOD public transport system removes the need for cars..

"SUV TAX COULD RAISE £2BN."
https://www.theguardian.com/money/2025/sep/16/uk-could-raise-nearly-2bn-by-taxing-suvs-in-line-with-european-countries-study-shows
"That’s the finding of research comparing the UK’s low tax rates for oversized SUVs with our European counterparts. A levy on the largest vehicles in the autumn budget would not only raise much-needed revenue but it would reflect the damage large SUVs inflict on people and infrastructure."

"Examining 113 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) across more than a decade, researchers found that LTNs were associated with a 35% reduction in all injuries, and a 37% drop in deaths and serious injuries (KSIs)."

Just did my regular 60 km round-trip
35-kg-groceries run on the #eBike (including the bit where the rugged unsurfaced track climbs 150 m).

En-route I passed the also regular and very worthwhile used-clothes-coffee-and-cakes event run by an enterprising local and patronized mostly by the local ex-pat #goodlife community.

Not so worthwhile was the parade of 4x4s and heavy pick-up trucks lining the tarmac 100 m either side. For a coffee and cake and maybe a fresh shirt? And all living much, much closer than the shops.

This old vid always comes to mind. Keep it clocking views please. Maybe 60% humans say #bikeIsBetter - but unfortunately /far/ more than 60% of $£€ say sitting limp-legged on your butt, burning diesel is better. #CarBrain #bikeIsBest #bikeLife #BikeTooter

From the #BikeIsBest newsletter:-

"It was frustrating this week to see 11 new cycling offences proposed by the government (out of 13 new traffic offences)"
"With someone killed or seriously injured in motor traffic collisions every 20 minutes in England the legal system, police resourcing, public education and enforcement are woefully inadequate."
