- Comment on If political agendas were released, or summarized, like patch notes would people better understand what they are signup for? for? 1 week ago:
We have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren’t promising to do. They aren’t, however, legally enforceable so parties aren’t obliged to actually follow up on their promises.
- Comment on Stonehenge tunnel scheme scrapped by government 6 months ago:
New roads don’t reduce traffic, they create more. It’s called induced demand. We should be building viable alternatives to driving.

The offer was always about capacity rather than speed, something which is clearly desperately needed.

Yeah way before. I had a bit of a look through some announcements and couldn’t find it so I can’t say exactly when.

IIRC they changed the way they calculate the scores a few years ago, which generally increased the numbers you saw.

- Comment on Bicycle use now exceeds car use in Paris 10 months ago:
Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, is usually credited for it. It works in Paris because the official boundary is quite small compared to other cities, about 100km^2 containing 2 million people, whereas in Berlin the equivalent is almost 900km^2 and 3.5 million people. So the population that vote for her are almost exclusively urban dwellers whereas in Berlin the mayor has to appease suburbanites too.

- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 11 months ago:
Switzerland had this up until 2012, when it was abolished because it cost more to administer than it was worth.
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 11 months ago:
For anyone that might be interested in this: it’s only for certain ebikes. Standard ebikes that only pedal assist up to 25km/h don’t need anything special over a regular bike, which afaik is the standard limit in Europe. You can get ebikes that go up to 45km/h and they are regulated more like mopeds, requiring a number plate, rear view mirror, and that the rider wears a helmet.

And don’t forget all of the other cars making it harder for you to get where you want to go, whether you’re in one or not.
