๐Ÿšฒ What if your employer paid you to ride to work?

In Belgium, they do. 36 cents per kilometre, tax-free, for anyone who regularly cycles to work.

It's time Australia caught up. Would a ride-to-work payment get more Hobartians on bikes?

These parents have paid an immense price.

Yes, other negligent parents that send their children out on electric motorcycles with little training or protective gear should be reprimanded, but no doubt these parents now understand.

I've seen plenty of kids riding unregistered ebike on roads beyond the speed they should be allowed

and the kids did NOT pay for those ebikes.....

....their parents did

it's time the parents were held responsible for such accidents

'So, I had this idea': Scientists dispense insecticide-coated feathers for birds to build nests Donning a helmet and a well-equipped harness, Dr Fernanda Alves looks like she is set to take on an extreme sport. Instead, she is climbing trees to check nesting boxes for a tiny and very rare bird.

"So much of Bruny Island is privately owned and so having landholders who care about animals and the wildlife is key, really, to the success of the project,"

Should parents and guardians be legally held responsible for their teens and younger illegally riding motorcycles (petrol or electric) on public land?

It has led to e-bikes being banned in public transport and calls to COMPLETELY BAN E-BIKES. Police in Australia do not have the ability to enforce laws that distinguish e-bikes from motorcycles. Let's hope that we see an improvement in enforcement and import regulations, not more bans on e-bikes.

I think we've collected too many glasses. My wife thinks we have the right glasses for the right occasion.

Thank you @fullersbookshop for the super quick and friendly service! The cashier (who's name I didn't get ๐Ÿคฆ) recognised me from Kingston Park Parkrun ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'd just gotten out of a delicious lunch meeting at @littlelotuscafe and needed to zoom back to my office in Salamanca.
