  1. My bike trailer met a colleague at the grocery store.

    It's rare to see signs of active, utilitarian, middle-class mobility in Antananarivo.

    Note: Photo taken before my Travoy folding hinge hyperextended

  2. It was a complicated day for logistics. Note the motorcycle helmet in the bike bag in the back of the taxi with my folding bike.

    Honestly, I don't know how some car-free and low-car people get by without folding bikes.

  3. Crap! A Burley Travoy isn't supposed to fold this way. Any advice on how to repair this?

    NB: Replacement parts will be hard to get in Madagascar, but good mechanics are plentiful.

  4. End socialism for cars? Alternatively: If car owners don't like this proposal, maybe let New Yorkers store anything they want on the street for free in the spaces that are currently designated as free car storage.

    Picnic tables, hot tub, trampoline, small shipping container...

  5. Weird to realize that I have much more in common with the people who have converted from car-dependency to car-freedom. But more power to the roadies and racers who explore the benefits of slow cycling.

  6. Did you know that you can purchase an electric vehicle for as little as $1,000?

    Not only that, these vehicles also:
    - Can skip traffic jams
    - Be parked virtually anywhere
    - Get over 1,000 mpge
    - Emits no harmful air pollution
    - Don't require a government permit or expensive insurance
    - Can easily be repaired by yourself, and don't require long waits at expensive dealerships
    - Include optional exercise equipment, allowing you to choose to get exercise while in transit (if you want) and skip the gym membership
    - Can be operated by people of almost any age, so your kids can now transport themselves

    What is this vehicle I'm describing? Some sort of newfangled flying car? A quantum teleporter?

    No: It is the humble electric bicycle.

    Spread the word.

  7. Did not anticipate street safety advocacy would involve actual traffic sign assembly, but I'm here for it.

  13. From Oslo to Helsinki, the list of cities across Europe introducing car-free initiatives is lengthening.

    Removing cars from city centres - or at least restricting their access - has been shown to transform urban areas into safe places for walking and cycling while significantly reducing air and noise pollution.

    Does this have an economic cost or is it a win-win situation?

  16. #introduction
    Hello! I'm Jonathan.

    Although I've lived in the USA for many years, I'm a Brit who doesn't want to take US citizenship. I liked living in France but have to stay in America. I miss the NHS!

    Soft left politics, still enraged about Brexit, disappointed with Starmer.

    Books I've enjoyed recently:

    -- The Wilsonian Moment: Self-Determination and the International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism -- Erez Manela

    -- Justice Is Conflict -- Stuart Hampshire

    -- Effingers -- Gabriele Tergit

    Atheist with an interest in religion.

    I drink huge quantities of builder's tea, but treat myself to Darjeeling from time to time.

    I also enjoy Campari, IPAs, and White Horse whisky.

    I listen to classical music, Kpop, and all sorts of other things too - your YouTube recommendations are always welcome!

    Favourite food: quiche lorraine, Central Texas barbecue, smoked salmon. I miss roast lamb, Aero, and Bovril on toast.

  17. Today, a few photos from - . Took the blue trail south from Bardo first, then switched west to yellow track from Szeroka Góra. Most of it was pretty easy, just some intensive ascension from Bardo at first, and then up Ostra Góra.

    Most importantly, you can get there at 9 AM by train, and catch a train back to Wrocław at 1 PM. You don't need cars.

  18. Come join our #HayesValley community meeting tonight at 7pm, to hear from VisionBlvd about replacing the Central Freeway with new housing, transit, and green space:
