On average, it takes 34 cargo bikes to handle the capacity of one truck.
Replacing 1 truck with 34 cargo bikes sounds inefficient until you watch them work in a city. The truck is a blunt instrument trying to do precision work.

This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.

This is a lovely compilation of wolves in the Veluwe.
A few years ago Dutch wolves were practically non-existent; now there are wild packs in more than a dozen locations, with nearly 50 cubs born this spring alone.
Everyone seems to be annoyed about it but I think it’s wonderful

There is a deep irony in naming of Doncaster Sheffield airport ‘Robin hood’ when borrowing £57m to reopen a climate-destroying unprofitable boondoggle is clearly going to end up robbing from the poor and giving to the rich
Labour mayor and Reform UK leader "in agreement" on need for borrowing for airport
The Labour Mayor of Doncaster and leader of the Reform UK group on the City of Doncaster Council are “in agreement” on the borrowing required to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA).
