What is “the 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%.”
Fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.
It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

We could, unfortunately, say the same thing about Australia (and everywhere else the colonialists went and planted a flag). It's just that now we understand at a visceral level what genocide is. And maybe that's why most in power stay silent.
A state built on massacres, genocide, and the expulsion of an indigenous people is not a homeland – it is a crime scene with a flag. #auspol #IsraelTerrorState #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine #CancelHerzog

It is good that Husic is speaking out in this.
How are Muslim Australians supposed to feel as the red carpet is rolled out for the head of a state for which the killing of 15 of their kin is not a shocking atrocity, but simply a quiet afternoon's work?

It would be fascinating to know whether the merited and predictable protests (against the visit of someone accused of helping incite a genocide to Australia) were part of the plan in inviting Herzog 🇮🇱 to visit. Useful propaganda to be made out of the “antisemitic left” 🙄 Murdoch idiot ball. #Auspol

I don't care if the protests are unauthorised. We have the right to protest genocide and the presence of someone breaching international law in our country.
Inviting president of a criminal State to visit Australia must be the dumbest move Labor PM Anthony Albanese has ever made.
He's also crazy to think there won't be any protests, legal or otherwise.

Will Herzog's tour help "unity", as Anthony Albanese apparently expects? Or will it drive a wedge deeper into the nation? @marquelawyers.com.au writes.
Why people are protesting Israel's head of state visiting Australia next week
Anthony Albanese wants Isaac Herzog's visit to foster 'a greater sense of unity' following the Bondi attack. It seems destined to do the opposite.
