So much infrastructure just crams bikes and pedestrians together which really only works if there aren’t many of either. Increasing the number of folks on e-bikes highlights the problems.

I wonder if RNZ can report a series of extreme weather stories without mentioning climate change? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
Weekend heat: Ice-creams, swimming pools and cancelled tours
There were a few solutions to the scorching weather over the weekend: "All of the people here are jumping into our pools half-naked because it's just too warm."

The answer is so very obvious to anyone who's ever cycle commuted.
Who do you think is faster across Auckland in rush hour?
A fast driver, a sedate driver or an e-bike?

Does driving faster get you there quicker? We put it to the test
Two cars, one e-bike, one burning question. In a stop-start city, what is the most efficient way to get around Auckland?

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

While more New Zealanders support increasing investment in urban cycleways than oppose it, there remains a substantial proportion of people who are unsure or unengaged on this issue.

London is fast becoming a cycling city. As each new piece in the network appears—which has more than quadrupled from 90 to 431 km since 2016—so do new cyclists. Its infrastructure now sees a stunning 1.5 million daily users—a 43% spike since 2019—moving nearly half as many people as the Tube below.🧵
