Have you seen the EFF 35 year anniversary cityscape design?
It's got tons of trees, it's got rail, it's got solar panels and a windmill, it's got a rooftop greenhouse and a fountain. It's got a flying bicycle!
What's it not got? Any cars!
It's amazing!
And you can get it on a T-shirt now, if you support EFF's important work against the fascist takeover.
I just wish @eff would add some info on how their clothing is produced.

Yesterday was new bike day for my wife. We found a Di Blasi (Italian made) foldable e-tricycle at the suggestion of folks here in the fediverse. Unfortunately the weather is not amenable to giving it a test ride, that may have to wait for several weeks. The foldable version solves our storage and hauling issues that would be problematic if we had a standard e-tricycle.

We have labeled the band-aids/gauze. Pray we do not label it any further.

Just did my regular 60 km round-trip
35-kg-groceries run on the #eBike (including the bit where the rugged unsurfaced track climbs 150 m).
En-route I passed the also regular and very worthwhile used-clothes-coffee-and-cakes event run by an enterprising local and patronized mostly by the local ex-pat #goodlife community.
Not so worthwhile was the parade of 4x4s and heavy pick-up trucks lining the tarmac 100 m either side. For a coffee and cake and maybe a fresh shirt? And all living much, much closer than the shops.
This old vid always comes to mind. Keep it clocking views please. Maybe 60% humans say #bikeIsBetter - but unfortunately /far/ more than 60% of $£€ say sitting limp-legged on your butt, burning diesel is better. #CarBrain #bikeIsBest #bikeLife #BikeTooter

@cpm asks about "Wear Bright Clothes!"
Around here, there have been two severe cyclist:driver collisions after dark along a particularly noxious reach of stroad recently.
Lots of soc media chatter, and >90% heavily in the victim blame camp.
Q7. How is this possible when "bright" winter garments don't really exist?
(And how do we change the framing and conversation?)

The bike ride to Groningen today was a bit on the "fresh" side. It was around 3-4 C and it was quite foggy. This actually made for very pleasant cycling as I was dressed for the weather.
I'm lucky that I live in a country where pretty much everyone can afford proper clothes, has a warm home, and has enough to eat. These are things that we should always be thankful for.
Here are a couple of photos taken on the way there and back.

75°F ride in shorts and short sleeves on the Jake on December 22 in Colorado. And it's dry. Ugh.
When winter finally does arrive, I need to do a full teardown and clean up on this bike.
