@meganL #MotorNormativity for people talking about transport policy and #CarBrain .
#UrbanCycling for cycling in towns and cities, usually for transport purposes.
#CyclingUK for cycling in the UK (and presumably for what was previously the CTC).
#Coffeeneuring for folks who #AlwaysBeCoffeeneuring or who are taking part in the annual challenge (ride a bike 7 times at least 2 miles and have a beverage).

Myth: Electric vehicles (EVs) are just luxury toys that cost way more than gas cars.
Reality: Thanks to new entry-level models and generous government incentives, the upfront costs are dropping! Plus, lower fuel and maintenance expenses can save you thousands over time.
