Jon WorthNo #CrossBorderRail thread today, but instead I will post about #velocity2025 - I am speaking there at 11:00
This will be a sporadic thread about it! 🙂
Doing something for folding bike diversity at #velocity2025 😀 My Birdy next to 8 Bromptons!
Half the people at #velocity2025 flew to get here, as per a show of hands
WTF
Practice what you preach people!
Gil Penalosa at #velocity2025
What he says isn’t wrong. He’s a good motivator. But we at this event know this stuff
I’m really struggling with Gil Penalosa. We know these stats. We know the problems. I’m looking for something a bit more interesting than this as it’s #velocity2025
It’s like every pro bike meme turned into a keynote. #velocity2025
“We need to do [this]” says Penalosa over and over at #velocity2025
Who are WE?
And what are our levers to make the change?
Why’s that bike so huge? 🤔 #velocity2025
It’s hydrogen powered 🤦♂️
Perhaps the only thing more stupid than a hydrogen tram. A hydrogen bike!
JT Leskinen@jon Da faq? 🤦🏽♂️
Markus Peuhkuri@puhuri @milesizdead oh hell. I don’t know. And I don’t want to engage them in conversation, sorry. It might get ridiculous very quickly.
"Only" 30 kg. As a comparison, not-so lightweight city ebike with 100 km range is about 25 kg. Another 500 Wh battery for the next 100 km is 2,6 kg.
Fuel cells do not like sub-zero temperatures (water is byproduct), so they are not usable in Finland. One can take battery indoors for charging, discharge works fine in cold with small reduction of capacity.
trusty falxter 🧠@puhuri @jon @milesizdead Lol, my 40kg mid-tail cargo bike has real life range of 90km (when my two kids are on board with me). And instead of that large tank it has a trunk. And I could easily strap on at least one spare battery somewhere.
I wonder how many children and extra tanks you can take with you on this hydrogen bike ...?
