@peterdutoit eat fewer animal products, buy less and 2nd hand if you can, vote for politicians who will support public transport, carbon taxes etc.

@peterdutoit An ebike is a very good option & doesn't have to be hugely expensive. We share one with:
- 3 speed internally geared rear hub, which is all it needs. Stop at lights & just twist to the right gear.
- Big rear mount basket for cargo
- bafung 250w mid drive motor - very smooth application of pedal assist power. Assist winds back at 25km.
- hydraulic brakes.
- 460Wh battery - starts to fade after 70km of fairly flat riding.
- 50mm tyres to absorb small bumps
It cost us AUD2600 = USD 1800 (including Australian taxes)

- nice bonus on this one: belt drive - very quiet & clean.
You don't need shock absorbers on it in my opinion- the 50mm tyres absorb road bumps.
It's a nice, affordable car alternative & took my 65yo wife 22km on Saturday afternoon.

@peterdutoit And tax the rich until they start doing all of these things as well.

@peterdutoit Not even sounding like a shareholder of Sasoil...😁

@peterdutoit nice wish list. Send that to Santa clause.
