My bike trailer met a colleague at the grocery store.
It's rare to see signs of active, utilitarian, middle-class mobility in Antananarivo.

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.

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.

Cool. I'll hold off on that, then.The travel / transit account I follow is really only @notjustbikes
For topic-specific things I like following hashtags since I then get to see people that I would not normally pick up.
I can recommend the hashtags: #CrossBorderRail

ASU study: Relying on a car is linked to lower life satisfaction. The most surprising aspect of this is the ASU part — my alma mater. Rababe could have just asked me.

Urban cows. What the small car-dependent minority don't see and don't know is that Antananarivo is a patchwork of walkable villages.

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...

Non-driving New Yorkers elected Zohran
Car ownership was the strongest statistical factor predicting whether a New Yorker voted for Cuomo or Mamdani. More than race, age, home ownership, anything.

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.

However we lack the wealth of toilet paper options of the USA.

Here we see a sustainable mode of transport that offers efficient access to all citizens
And this mode works in high density cities.
We also see cars.

Tom Scott's new #video shows a really cool example of what a
#CarFree #city could be like. It even shows how car free cities can still have "cars" where necessary, but can limit their use and impacts. His discussion on #NoisePollution is also quite interesting.

"The Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us"
This is a deep-dive into the real problems with the trend of larger, heavier, vehicles in the US.

Been wondering if there’s an app/website for tracking how much you drive, with the idea to limit your total vehicle miles driven?
Since December I’ve been tracking when I drive and for what reasons as I try to more deliberately go low-car.
I setup an Airtable base (fancy spreadsheet) to keep track and visualize the data, with a decent form entry UI, and thats worked perfectly well. But I’ve been working on making a little web app for it now too as a side project.

Just paid the security deposit for my new house in Portland, it’s really happening! Now I just need to follow up with Carvana to turn my car into some cash that I can use to buy a nice cargo e-bike.
Any recommendations for front loader e-cargo bikes with a door/low entry point so that my senior dog doesn’t have to jump over a wall to get in? Currently looking at the R&M Transporter2 65 as an option.
