@CathyTuttle de video was op met de laatste tijdcode gedeeld, waardoor er al weer een andere video start.
Heel hinderlijk dat YT niet meer standaard de start van de video als delingspunt neemt. @NiemPseu
2nd day at #ConnectingEuropeDays talking “urban nodes” (aka cities) and their connections to the EU Trans European Networks. It’s a jargon soup at the start.
@heerdjan Ah. dat gedeelte.
Waarschijnlijk regulier onderhoud. Bomen moeten natuurlijk niet te groot worden, anders worden ze beschermd. Maar misschien gaan er ook zonnepanelen in de middenberm geplaatst worden, het is er een kansrijke locatie voor.
Ebikes made 56% of all bicycles sold in the Netherlands in 2023. In terms of value (💶), ebikes took even a higher share of 80% of the €1,4 billion.
It’s been already 5 years since e-bikes made majority of sold units in NL, the share keeps on growing. Other key European markets following with 2-4 years delay.
Oh, and by the way, the Dutch kept of buying more e-bikes than all cars - not only electric, but all cars - together.
@Brendanjones e-bikes are heavily pushed by bike dealers. I heared several stories of customers that they really had to persist to buy a traditional bike instead of an e-bike. It's simple, there is more profit on e-bikes as the price is higher and they are less serviceable yourself. @_roman
@_roman Oh yes, the distance people will cover by e-bike is longer, so it will give a mode shift. On the other hand even teens are using e-bikes nowadays, who are perfect capable to cycle to school. It might affect their health development in the future. @Brendanjones
Denmark - when building the Storebæltsbroen - concluded you cannot easily put a railway on a suspension bridge (so tunnelled the railway instead)
The Øresundsbron is a cable stay bridge instead of suspension
And here comes a proposal for a suspension bridge at the Strait of Messina with a central span of 3.3km... how will they account for movement / flex when a train crosses? 🤔
@burger_jaap International bicycle transport reservations for regular trains are still impossible at DB website and app. Only available when you want to queue at ticket counters or a specialised train ticket shop. @jon@jonasfranz
Oh wow, das nachfragen, welche Konserquenzen für mehr Sicherheit die Polizei nach einem schweren "Unfall" (den es unter Beachtung der StVO nie gegeben hätte, also schon fahrlässige Tötung im Spiel ist) ergreifen wird, pampig mit einer unterstellten Vorverurteilung des "Hass auf Autofahrer" zu reagieren.
I was asked to educate this summer the German police how we in The Netherlands care about road safety. Good example of different attitudes. @SheDrivesMobility
@koen altijd geïnteresseerd in een borrel, maar na wat doorklikken begreep ik dat ik niet in de doelgroep val. Ik weet dat Linux bestaat, maar daarmee houd mijn kennis op.
@ssamulczyk Since 2020 I challenge myself for a Midwinter Solstice Ride, starting at 4:15pm and finishing at 9:30am the next morning.
Always around 300 kilometers, and self supported (except first year, had pasta by @petervalkema ). So I bring a stove for a warm meal and extra water.
Last year it was -7 C with freezing fog.
Currently planning my next adventure for 22/23 December.
@ssamulczyk Sure, they grow up! I got the idea after a Midsummer Solstice Ride with my daughter, which was one of the best rides ever. This winter her friend might join me for the second half of the ride, he is as crazy as me. #lifegoals@petervalkema
We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.

Thank you! Fascinating to see this in graphs, it seems we are into something. I can think of venting of superfluous gas because of decline of oil and gas demand in 2020 due to lockdowns started mid March in Europe and some weeks later in America.
