The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

Years ago a moped was my primary transport (late 70s don't ask) it had pedals, but no way it was a bicycle. Same with e-motos. Motorcycle not bicycle.

It did feel mild today, however, this time next week it will be 5C warmer! Long drawn SW’ly into early next week the Azores high pressure influence mainly going south of UK.
The first half of Dec will clearly carry a strong mild surplus and is cementing 2025 as new warmest year on record. (1/2)

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Seems our robot overlords are rude.
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.
