"So far this year, at least 80 people have lost their lives on Queensland roads. Last year, to April 1, the road toll was 59."
I volunteer with a Utrecht non-profit De Fietsmeesters to help teach adults how to bike. Students are almost always women, and mostly new immigrants. There are 16 new riders in this class, and 4 of us volunteers.
By the end of 10 weeks almost everyone is successfully biking on the road — it's so empowering!

If other countries do not want their old solar panels because they have cheap newer and better ones, maybe they can organize a big shipment of the old ones to Cuba, since two decade old solar panels turn out to be pretty good still!
The cost is one of multiple variables that affect how many people use public transport.
For some, it's the deciding factor, for others it's not, depending on where they live, how much money and time they have, how safe and comfortable they feel on buses or trains.
@notjustbikes brings up the free to use libraries and roads. There are more examples: schools, parks, museums, hospitals.
Things that are beneficial to the society should be free.
This is a clip from my public transit show, Day Pass.You can watch the full episode of Day Pass in the Nebula app or at:https://go.nebula.tv/daypass?ref=notj...
On this day, 69 years ago, six countries took a leap of faith and signed the Treaty of Rome. 🇧🇪 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇱🇺 🇳🇱
They chose cooperation over division, laying the foundations for what would become today’s European Union.
From a shared market to shared ambitions, that vision has grown far beyond economics. It’s about connection, opportunity, and celebrating what makes each member country unique.
Different languages, cultures, and histories, one common journey.
United in diversity, then and now. 💙
The current Queensland government:
- cancelled gender dysphoria therapy for trans kids,
- started blocking renewable energy projects,
- cancelled light rail extension to Cooloongatta in Gold Coast,
- started jailing kids like adults,
- is going to: ban e-bikes for people under 16, require car driving learner's permit for everyone else, restrict e-bikes to 10 km/h on footpaths (almost no bike paths here), with a penalty of $500 if you ride 25 km/h on an empty path.
Next: 50c fares?
