E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs — if cities take them seriously
E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.
“Meanwhile, the e-bike market is skyrocketing…
The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?” Via @grist.org
And do we let elected leaders keep doing the wrong things for our cities?

Municipales 2026 à Menton : signalé par le RN, le visuel de Louis Sarkozy sur sa permanence finalement retiré
La grande photo du candidat affichée sur sa permanence ne respecte pas le code électoral. Si son entourage assure que son retrait était prévu avant le signalement de son adversaire, cet épisode prouve...
Passionnant ces bastons entre racelards...
"Il n’aura fallu qu’une semaine à L. Sarkozy pour enfreindre la loi [...]», ont raillé les militants RN. Preuve que les hostilités sont lancées dans cette campagne [...] alors que l’actuel maire, empêtré dans une affaire, ne se représente pas"

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many super-rich men trying so hard to blatantly buy a mayoral election in a city before.

Luc Ferry s'étouffe dans le Figaro contre "l'absurde projet de débaptiser Noël".
Personne ne veut débaptiser Noël.
Ce qui est envisagé, et pas tranché, et légèrement secondaire dans le domaine de l'éducation nationale, c'est de parler de vacances d'hiver plutôt que de vacances de Noël.

Global maps stacked vertical showing the annual number of hot days at 2.6C of warming (top) and 4C of warming (bottom) Increasing shades of red are seen in the tropics indicating the highest number of annual days.
10yrs after the Paris Agreement, a new study from Climate Central and @wwattribution.bsky.social found that it could help Earth avoid some of the worst outcomes of climate change. But w/o stronger planning/commitments, future gens still face dangerous heat.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

In 1982 the road is open to cars, with car parking on both sides of it. Today it is pedestrianised and a child plays hopscotch
