Focusing solely on electric vehicles and technology that is not proven at scale is actually slowing down the path to zero emissions - it diverts resources and political will away from other solutions.  In reality, if we are to meet the decarbonisation targets of the Paris Agreement by 2050, we also need to focus on the movement of people and goods – and look at introducing

The effects of transport mode use on self-perceived health, #mentalhealth, and social contact measures: A cross-sectional and longitudinal study from #EUPASTA

In multiple transport mode models, bicycle use was associated with good self-perceived health [OR (CI 95%) = 1.07 (1.05, 1.08)], all the mental health measures [perceived stress: −0.016 (−0.028, −0.004); mental health:  0.11 (0.05, 0.18); vitality: = 0.14 (0.07, 0.22)], and with fewer feelings of loneliness.
