It's amazing how much bigger a living room seems when it doesn't have ... a tree in it.
(It still has two #bikes, though.)
(One gets a lot more use than the other, so it actually makes some sense.)

The final embrace. #bikes
E-bike manufacturers need to start using USB-C to charge their batteries. I hate hate hate HATE needing to lug around my bike's stupid charger.

Just come across the phrase " #Bicycles offer you the freedom that car ads promise". coined by Tom Flood https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-flood-7a91b411_bicycles-deliver-the-freedom-that-auto-ads-activity-7115679791810314241-iGGB?trk=public_profile_like_view
Appears to be a two year old phrase but I think if for #2026 you're wanting to use the car less, it's a good mantra memorize. I've had a puncture on the main #cargobike for over a week now I've been lazy about fixing so the car has been used more. I need to remember the freedom the bike gives a #smallbusiness like us.
Video bike tax: Video is from a couple of years ago on one of our cargobike, sadly now gone due to a recall

I Like this plan!
"Our custom #bikes and gear reflect our dirt intentions and we #LeaveNoTrace to keep it all sustainable. Our #bikepacking #commons weaves us together and forms the grounds of this community. We all help maintain our commons first and foremost by riding."
Important piece by Josh Meissner about how #Komoot betrayed the commons and what the bikepacking community must learn from it.

Cycling around NSW?
The State govt has an excellent online resource to plan your trips in order to maximise paths and minimise time on roads. Bravo NSW, well done!
"Get in-depth information on bicycle routes across NSW, including high-speed roads where cycling is allowed."
Clearly a lot of work has been done in NSW on their cycling infrastrure, but vast amounts remain to be completed. Esp in rural and regional areas where cycling is rare because it is so hazardous.
But it's a great start.

Here's a radical transport idea...
For every two lane road, turn one lane into a segregated two lane cycle route, and make the other one a contraflow motor vehicle lane.
Watch many car drivers switch to cycling, and RTAs drop. Short distance travel times will be reduced for many.
And I say all this as both a car driver and a cycle rider.
