@EU_Commission I love trains, advocate for trains, and travel by train whenever possible but omfg the EU needs to ensure there are a) more trains and b) that they're easier to book, especially between countries.

I recently planned a trip from Amsterdam to Switzerland and back it was so painful at almost every step of the booking process.

Great trip in the end, but it shouldn't be this hard!

NONE OF THIS IS REAL! 🤥

ChatGPT really does just make shit up as it goes along, rather than admit it doesn't know something.

Andrej Karpathy until recently was Tesla's Director of Artificial Intelligence. Looks like he too wants fewer Teslas on the road @parismarx @TheWarOnCars @notjustbikes

@pictor it was Bunq and Sixt that didn't play well together.

I'm no longer with Bunq (for various reasons), but I do still use Sixt.

Got a bit distracted on my way home from the dentist. I found this FrankenTender sitting outside a local bike shop.

"You don’t want to be a helicopter parent, but the closer they are to traffic, the more nervous and controlling you find yourself becoming. It’s not a fun or healthy way to raise a human being, but it can feel necessary in order to keep them alive."

Some of you may not know, this was my life previous to giving any sort of damn about urbanist/infrastructure/cycling advocacy.

My windshield perspective from semis, tractors, combines, pickups, sprayers, etc drastically influenced my views on issues.

People can change. 🙃

Nice video from @notjustbikes covering how the rise of SUVs in America and Europe is not good for public safety or the environment.

I recently got a smaller car and I still manage just fine. Would love it if I could bike more often and safely to work.

Apparently old people and families are incapable of transporting themselves without 2 tonnes of steel.

Won't somebody think of the drivers!?? 😭
