Despite all the world’s troubles, it’s still a great time to be alive.
My last bike vs car β€œinteraction” left me unhurt but anxious and sleeping poorly for a long while.
Hope you’re doing OK.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

The story of the Paper Boat. A British Geriatric Society blog from 2018. Let me know if you’d like the full text & I’ll send it to you.

The story of the Paper Boat was a blog I wrote back in 2018 for @gerisoc.bsky.social.

It was an analogy that I found useful to explain to patients and families how difficult it can be to predict the future accurately.

Now as I and my friends get older, I find myself sharing it once again.

The Long-Feared Persian Gulf Oil Squeeze Is Upon Us Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.

It’s been a half-century since the OPEC oil crisis. Good thing the west has spent that time engineering smaller cars, developing renewables and working aggressively to reduce reliance on fossil fuels

Great graphic showing cities on a triangle graph showing if they are most oriented to public transit, active mobility or cars.

Great graphic showing cities on a triangle graph showing if they are most oriented to public transit, active mobility or cars.

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Blondin and Weidemann started their speed skating journey on a community-maintained oval 250m from my front door. It’s natural ice flooded on a soccer pitch. Olympic medals start at grass roots (literally).
