  1. A lovely car light street in Amsterdam, where cars are allowed, but the street is made for other road users.

  2. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: I'm too proud of my 1st miles century ride last Sun/Mon (actually my 1st 200km/125mi ride, too), to not post this picture a 2nd time after chaos.social/@xtaran/117230720 (I've chosen 3 different pictures for the remainder. 😇) I just noticed that riding over the #Albulapass—thanks to #slowUp #carfree—and then home was also my 1st mile ascent—ok, 1605m are 0.997mi, but that's just 4m/13ft missing. I rode with 20kg of luggage and my #BromptonElectricGLine.

  3. If you need a traffic light 🚦 – if people need to endure a bureaucrat beating them up with a stick to cross a street – you've made a mistake somewhere.

    Many are made wrong – to prioritise cars – but the people who oppose the fundamental concept of a #pedestrian #bridge or #underpass, are the most anti-pedestrian people ever. They are the #motorist bureaucrats beating you up in every intersection. 🥊

  4. Details of #ScotGov owned #ScotRail timetable changes; good to see extra #trains on Sundays on many routes, making #CarFree leisure travel more do-able.

    (But when did ScotRail remove the few other operator services from their timetables? Not helpful for full overview of #Inverness + #Aberdeen #InterCity trains and especially not for #EastLothian travellers! #Integration is much more important than hiding other services out of spite and making travel options look worse!)

  5. I spent, as usual, a car-free day today. More unusual, I also saw trains just from a distance today.

  6. #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.
