On the way to an election event, I had to pull myself into an alley to sob uncontrollably for awhile. All the work we've done to demonstrate better service to customers and better efficiency paid off Voters approve regional measure and S.F. Muni tax www.sfchronicle.com/election/art...

The E-bike is a City Shrinker (More evidence we should be building infrastructure and support for this vehicle, not as a recreational option, but as a daily tool that displaces cars)
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · yesterdayThe “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V @lloydalter.bsky.social
