Bananas! - fueling the pro peloton and the #couchpeloton. Safer at the front. Aussie cycling tragic tooting from Whadjak Noongar country

From @shot - Joel Jenkins on Australia’s shitty media missed the significance of Albanese’s China visit

Quote:
——-
The Australian media often portrays China with a mix of the outdated ‘yellow peril’ trope and Tomorrow, When the War Began-style paranoia. While China builds transcontinental high-speed railways with its economic partners, the Australian media’s hive mind fixates on ominous, regressive fears, fostering a belligerent narrative that shapes public opinion against our largest trading partner and the world’s most advanced economy.

@Welshracer Probably not recording the whole race though. I like a few photos of a race and find I get better pics with a short video screenshot rather a blur or empty road

@projectgus Just when we should be advocating for smaller, more energy-efficient vehicles instead of these huge monsters that block visibility for others, overhang parking spaces and driveways, and make existing roads squeezy. Too frequently only one occupant doing trips that could be walked. What happened to common sense?

What we do for citizen science! A little after midday Dad stopped to take some quick ambient and spot temperature measurements along the new #UpfieldBikePath as it passes Merlynston station:
🔥Rail ballast was 51-52.6C
🚗Asphalt parking lot was 50-51.2C
🌡️White Concrete path: 42.6C
🌡️Ambient temperatures above shared use path: 37-39.4C.

In comparison the path north of Boundary Road ambient temperatures were at least 2C cooler with the cemetery and 🌳trees on the west side but the path still in full sun.

The good people at #CAMerribek advocated to LXRP who did the car park redevelopment to use best practice design and incorporate shading of the shared use path (optimally via trees) They were ignored. 😡

This is a Failure to build for #heatWave and #climate of the future, that is increasingly here now. 🐶🐶

@Welshracer Nice for some to have a choice RIP GCN

This is a selection of the thousands of native potato varieties that grow in Peru. What is even more interesting is that agronomists are looking to the ancestral knowledge of Peruvian farmers to identify genetic strains that can resist climate change.
