How many cars, how much they are driven and how they are driven, depend on urban development.
Urban development -> cars -> pollution
If you want less cars going around, design your cities to allow and incentivize people not to use them. See recent developments in Paris as an example:

I think this is good practice from repair people: my motorbike mechanic would always keep the old parts when replacing them, to show me the status when I was taking the motorbike back. It’s a sort of transparency move that I actually appreciate.
And moreover, the old part is still yours, so it makes sense to give it back to you, unless you explicitly say otherwise
You mean they don’t repair the plastoc covers?
I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!
Honestly Milan is not really bike friendly (even if sloooowly getting better), that’s why we need this kind of demonstrations
Just guessing: trying to minimize vortexes and turbulences.
Conclusions are similar to this video from Berm Peak channel, that could find goof helemts (in terms of protection) at low price.
However he advises to be aware of the existence of helemts on amazon that would not protect at all!

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.
But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri
Ok, I got your point
What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases…
Quite a lot:
Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike…
A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.
Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods… etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.
It’s easy:
Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.
Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don’t need a new solution…
They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.
The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.
The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don’t want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.
Was your friend isong the phone on a bicycle or motorcycle? I’m asking because it’s not only a matter of hard vibrations, but also the frequencies invovled, and motorcycles engone can stimulate the wrong ones, while I was unaware of issues on bicycles.
this is very interesting, but it is relatade to a specific USA place and to a specific change (4 lanes to 3 lanes+cycle paths). unfortunately conclusions can’t be generalized, in this case.
I use a poncho from decatholon when it rains and it works fine. I also have a couple rain overshoes, because the feet aren’t protected.
All in all i think that for my case this is the best solution, because it doesn’t rain often, the climate here is warm (the poncho is better for sweat than a rain jacket) and we have no strong winds, which would make you fly with a poncho
You need a satellite to do that, I think
It is at world level, according to WHO
https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality
In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death “for children and young adults aged 5–29 years”:

except for the “cars are great” part.
Yeah… Excluding moron drivers you have:
I’m probably still forgetting something important…
^ this: people always scared of being assaulted, never for a collision. Numbers speak clearly
