I just signed the petition to #stopthegame - will you add your name too? No to a change of venue. No to forcing players to play a game they don't want to play. No to sportswashing. No to bending for genocidal murderers. my.uplift.ie/petitions/pe...

THIS is why there is still not enough investment in Active Travel. Especially need to join up all the itty-bitty cycle lanes that go nowhere so they can actually be USED. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Why indeed? Maybe because 'motorists rule'? irishcycle.com/2026/08/19/l...

It's LUAS, not SUAS!

Paris Grew Cycling by 240% in Just Five Years: North American Cities Should Pay Attention. momentummag.com/paris-cyclin...

A 15-year study of bike lanes shows that they have no negative impact on business. Neighborhoods that embraced bike lanes showed a measurable increase in foot traffic. momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

Why does the FIFA website use MM/DD/YYYY format when the U.S. is the only country in the world to exclusively use this?

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Straw poll: do cyclists prefer Sheffield stands or toast racks? Hmmm, difficult to tell.

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

The CEO of the Denroy Group explains how, instead of cutting red tape, leaving the European Union meant more, not less bureaucracy. "That was nonsense about cutting red tape. How is it ever going to happen?" Full documentary: https://www.itv.com/watch/news/up-close-a-decade-of-brexit/jg38z02

Emergency hospital admissions fell after introduction of London’s T-charge and Ulez, study suggests

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Meanwhile, the “special military operation” has now lasted as long as World War I. Mala Tokmachka has still not been taken by the russians during all this time… Text and picture by Ukrainian journalist Denys Kazansky

We’re 500 days into Trump’s presidency and everything is still Joe Biden’s fault. At this point, this administration is admitting they’re not capable of changing anything.

My office cycle parking getting busy again. We're in Central Manchester so the building, with capacity for about 1500 people, only has 6 car parking spaces.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel deliberately targeted 158 ambulances, killing 128+ health workers and paramedics, and injuring 332 others since March 2—an average of 2 killed per day for almost 90 days.” M.S. UN Yet oddly, our government keeps pledging their loyalty? Why?

He said it himself. He loves the poorly educated.

Israelis have learned they can rape anyone they please & world leaders will not speak out against them. Their protection by Israel/US grant them seeming immunity from media outlets or even international law. This will continue until Israel/US are dealt with on a global scale

Paris air pollution is down 50% after its radical bike-friendly transformation Cars have been banned from more than 100 streets. Tens of thousands of parking spots have been eliminated. Hundreds of miles of bike lanes have been added. And air pollution is plummeting

@mark-carney.bsky.social Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods. Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Sanction Israel now!

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Well, it’s not AI, it’s real and very embarrassing…..

My homeland is leading the world right now.

FYI ! Thanks, Andrea.......

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Very good article. Nobody ever questions how much money is spent on car parking spaces. Especially for civil servants. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.” (Among MANY other public benefits.) Want To Make More Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane. #CityMakingMath via @fastcompany.com #BikeLanesMeanBusiness

Oh, FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️

Israel has killed nine paramedics in just 72 hours in southern Lebanon and it’s business as usual. Now imagine the outrage if that was nine Israeli paramedics. The entire world would be screaming and condemning it as terrorism.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Imagine that

This week marks the 2-year anniversary of the incredible UNITED24 ambassador: Hollywood star Hilary Swank! For 2 years, Hilary has supported 🇺🇦 via UNITED24, using her voice and platform to draw attention to russia’s ongoing war. Thank you both, for everything you have done and continue to do!

Drivers: "All these bike lanes and restrictions on where I can drive and park! It's almost like my car isn't welcome in the city." You're so, so close to getting it.

Have you seen this @daraobriain.bsky.social? Better view than London, I'd say!

This is how the Israeli minister Ben-Gvir is treating the European hostages Israel kidnapped in International Waters. Where is the outrage? Our Media and Politicians are owned, get them OUT.

Not a single mention of Trump or ICE in an article wondering why tourists are shying away from visiting America for the World Cup www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

So today International Gymnatics federation decided to lift (!) all restrictions for Russian and Belarusian athletes . Was it Russian bombing of Dnipro today that wounded a kid that’s only a 5 months old that inspired World Gymnastics ? Or Russian drone bombing a bus stop in Kherson this morning ?

how he starts calm and bursts into tears hearing about his little daughter he hadn’t seen because Russia kept him a prisoner 💔❤️‍🩹 was hard to translate this particular call from a Ukrainian defender , but I felt world needs to see and hear it.
