Macron se félicite que le Pass Rail "devienne réalité": "Devant Hugo (Travers), j'avais dit banco", se gargarise le président sur Twitter X. En réalité, le chef de l'Etat avait promis un dispositif "simple, ouvert à tous et durable".

Electric bikes from Decathlon have been catching our eye for some time now. One key model - the R500e Longtail - needed a closer look.

Effroyables images de l'effondrement du pont routier "Francis Scott Key, à Baltimore, dans le Mayrland aux États-Unis. C'est un navire qui est entré en collision avec l'un des piliers de l'ouvrage, causant sa destruction immédiate, selon les médias US.
Random thought - a modern #van or #lorry used for transporting items from place to place with the telemetry and cameras commonplace today is both a pantechnicon and a panopticon 😁

One of the key elements of the green transition must be finding ways to not only shift to public transport, but to also find more efficient (less polluting) ways of using private transport when (for whatever reason) non-collective transport is required.
