New in-depth study of e-cargo bikes highlights their ability to replace cars:
"There is a high potential for substitution of private car trips [from] e-cargo bikes, varying from 1 to 4 trips/week avoided."
Interesting-looking report showing that Italy invests 100 times more money into cars and related infrastructure than into cycling

L'Italia investe nell'auto *💯volte* più che nella bici! 💸😱
Eppure basterebbero appena *3 miliardi* per avere #CittaCiclabili come Amsterdam (o Reggio Emilia).

“Other developed countries lowered speed limits and built more protected bike lanes. They moved faster in making standard in-vehicle technology like automatic braking systems that detect pedestrians, and vehicle hoods that are less deadly to them.
[…]
In the U.S. in the past two decades, by contrast, vehicles have grown significantly bigger and thus deadlier to the people they hit. Many states curb the ability of local governments to set lower speed limits.”

And I’m always happy to talk about my beautiful home state of Kentucky, the land of basketball, bourbon and bluegrass.
