The science behind this is here: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... doi.org/10.1016/j.gl... And yes it doesn't include the negative effects and climate delay of 'mobesity' = the rise of the large electric SUV www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million FindsGetting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.www.sciencealert.com

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientistsEngineers link reduced lifespan of roads to shift to heavier cars, some bought to navigate damaged surfaces Drivers who choose SUVs are compounding the pothole problem, experts have warned, as research showed hundreds of thousands of people bought bigger cars to navigate damaged roads. Scientists said the cumulative effect of increasing numbers of heavier vehicles was a contributory factor in Britain’s potholes getting worse. Continue reading...www.theguardian.com

New research highlights the importance of engaging policymakers in net-zero scenario approaches, finding that their close involvement could lead to scenarios with energy demand reductions of up to 45% in the case of the UK.

Policymaker-led scenarios and public dialogue facilitate energy demand analysis for net-zero futures - Nature EnergyNew research finds that policymakers coleading energy scenario design has the potential both to better align scenarios with policymakers’ priorities and to question current policy, by substantially reducing energy use at half of the cost of technology-focused approaches.bit.ly

Policymakers and academics envision energy demand reductions beyond typical policies in the United Kingdom - Nature EnergyCo-design of energy transition pathways with policymakers and the public lead to more significant demand-side reductions than current supply-side-focused policy. When policymakers work directly with academics to re-consider how and why we use energy in our everyday lives, politically feasible, significantly cheaper options with 45% less energy demand are possible.bit.ly

Clara Glachant of the University of Eindhoven said “Our findings suggest that e-cargo bikes may help cultivate a cycling culture both at the household level and the community level. They may reshape ideas of who belongs on the road, who is entitled to space.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
