It's unbelievable that even when they're parked, motor vehicles are so dangerous to people on bicycles.

One of the best cyclists in the world, Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, was on a training ride and got doored by a parked van, and suffered fractures to his rib, shoulder blade, and hand.

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.
