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. 💙

Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.

Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.

ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy

ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100

ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.

Apparently Colorado residents can still take advantage of ebike tax credits and these guys are offering "free ebikes" based on those credits.
