Interesting article, but with some issues (carbon fibre cargo bikes may exist, but I have never encountered one). Clearly a subject that needs more research, esp. on systemic impacts: ebikes are known to actually replace car use.
An important thing to tackle would be regulation for standards and interoperability, especially with eBike systems. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/02/can-we-make-bicycles-sustainable-again/
If you #bike in #Baltimore, you might be interested to know that Margo Bruner-Settles's anti-bike-lane billboard truck ran a red light in front of me today.
New toys day. Sadly the bike these are meant for is getting frame repair done. I suppose I could put them on the commuter cyclo for a test drive, though. #cycling#favero#assiomaduo
From Andrew Pletcher: ICYMI: @CityofTO will host a bike lane demonstration where a portion of Hillcrest Drive (between Wilbur Road and Lynn Road) will be made into a temporary bike lane. The bike demonstration will be from May 13, 2024, through May 31, 2024.
Bike ride today. Was planning about 30 miles. Did 6. Hot, grumpy. Was gonna pack it in but then remembered I had planned to go see the Yoda statue at Letterman in the Presidio. Then I had some lunch. Then I went to Tunnel Tops and painted. Then Sophia, my new friend, decided she wanted to try watercolor painting too. Best day ever. #BikeTooter#RecumbentTrike#cycling#UrbanSketching#USk#watercolor#drawing#TunnelTopsPark
Whenever I'm #cycling through a field of cows, I'll try and record what happens, y'know, just in case a coroner needs it later on. They were a bit frisky this evening. And yes, "oi … oi" is how one speaks bovine. 😬
