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! š
Doing something for folding bike diversity at #velocity2025 š 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 isnāt wrong. Heās a good motivator. But we at this event know this stuff
Iām really struggling with Gil Penalosa. We know these stats. We know the problems. Iām looking for something a bit more interesting than this as itās #velocity2025
Itās like every pro bike meme turned into a keynote. #velocity2025
āWe need to do [this]ā says Penalosa over and over at #velocity2025
Who are WE?
And what are our levers to make the change?
ECF presenting their report at #velocity2025 Once itās published Iāll post it here!
Rivo Vasta@jon Very surprised about SBB, had a very bad experience with them. Felt like a second-class client with my Brompton and even had some kind of fine for no good reason and with no good feedback from the customer serviceā¦
@rivovasta Such a report can only assess the formal rules. And the formal rules are solid.
@jon They were not. Rules had one of these "Oxford comma" issue ā as I learnt were called in English (this grammatical issue is not as much identified as such in French) ā and were ambiguous, but they did not admit it was and did not make me benefit from the doubt.
@jon In short: rules said ābicycles considered luggage if folded or dismantled and coveredā. I assumed ācoveredā applied to ādismantledā. They said it applied to both āfoldedā and ādismantledā because there was no comma. As far as I know there is no such grammatical rule in French. A comma would have made it non-ambiguous indeed but the lack of it doesn't make it non-ambiguous the other way around.
