@BBCSport why when I look at fixtures for Thurs 20th July, on your mobile app, does all the Europa League Qualifying fixtures appear before the opening fixtures of Women's World Cup? How does this help promote Women's football? #WomensWorldCup
Thanks @BBCSport , have noticed the updated view. Much better👍🏻. Time for the Lionesses to roar again!

The new Paris 2021-26 urban biking plan will invest €250 million to, among other things, make 52km of pandemic bike-lanes permanent; add 130km of new bike-lanes; add 130K new bike parking spots; & teach all elementary school students to bike.
Leadership.

Between 2021 & 2026, Paris will gain 180 kilometers (112 miles) of new permanent segregated bike lanes, & bike parking spots will more than triple, with 180,000 more added to the 2021 total of 60,000.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.
It took leadership.

“France will now pay you €4,000 (nearly US $4,000) to swap your old polluting car for a cleaner & more city-appropriate electric bicycle. That marks a major increase in the incentive… Pedal bicycles are also included in the generous incentive package…” electrek.co/2022/08/22/franc…

A reminder, should you be in need of a smile, that eggs were once called ‘cacklefarts’, penguins were known as ‘arse-feet’, umbrellas as ‘bumbershoots’, and sausages as ‘bags of mystery’ because you never quite know what’s in them.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

This is the future, or at least it is if we choose it.
As apposed to insults, or short sighted anger, be genuinely interested to hear of any alternatives that can forecast the same benefits.
BIG NEWS: Milan has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.
Strategy & leadership.
