New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution | Momentum Mag
Not long ago, Paris was known for its traffic jams, not its bike culture. The city’s grand boulevards were lined with honking taxis, delivery vans, and inching commuters. Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.Fast forward to today, and the transformation is astonishing. The French capital has quietly—and quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes,” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent cycling network spanning hundreds of kilometres. Paris is now a place where parents ferry kids to school by cargo bike, where commuters glide past the Seine on protected lanes, and where the sound of gears clicking often replaces the blare of horns.
And the numbers prove it’s more than a passing trend. A new study reveals that cycling traffic in Paris has increased by 240% between 2018 and 2023, while car traffic has steadily declined. In central districts, more than one in ten trips are now made by bike—a remarkable shift for a metropolis once synonymous with gridlock.
“Paris is an incredible example of how a city can transform when political will meets smart data,” says one of the report’s lead authors. “We wanted to understand exactly which factors made this happen.”

Hätten frühere Regierungen nicht den Ausbau der Windkraft und Photovoltaik abgewürgt, Stromnetzausbau verpennt, immer mehr Bahnstrecken stillgelegt und in der Folge die Hersteller aus dem Land gedrängt sowie die Ausbildung von Fachkräften haben einschlafen lassen, könnte die Industrie längst in großem Maß von echter Zukunftstechnologie profitieren statt sich an Gasheizungen und Verbrennungsmotoren zu klammern.

Now that 2 cons have switched to the Grits, 1 to Ind, and one gave notice, it's opening the floodgates. It leaves the possibility of 1 more crossing to the Libs, giving them the majority. With the Environment Minister leaving, the whole Lib party is shifting right. This could be the ndp's only chance to stop that 3rd Con crossing, and at least make sure that 171st seat is held by a "Lib" (at least in name)

ein moralischer Dammbruch für die grundgesetzliche deutsche Demokratie, ja, aber nicht für #Dobrindt. Was der von Grundrechten hält hat er mit seinen Worten und Aktionen seit Langem immer wieder belegt.
Wieso solche Persönlichkeiten in Parteien, die sich im Nachkriegsdeutschland penetrant auf Grundgesetz, Menschenrechte, Europa und „Nie Wieder!“ berufen, überhaupt Karriere machen und Posten behalten können, das bleibt ein Phänomen. Kein Adenauer, kein Brandt, kein Genscher, ja, nicht mal FJS hätte mit einer solchen Frechheit die Grundwerte unseres Rechtsstaates verspottet, verdreht und verraten.
Ja, natürlich beziehe ich das auch auf andere prominente Gestalten wie Spahn, Merz, Schröder, Scholz, Kretschmer, Kretschmann, Lindner, und wie die noch alle heißen oder hießen.

I am looking for work again, ideally stable part-time (3 days a week) or contract work.
I am a software developer, with most of my years of experience as a full-stack web developer.
I am competent across the stack, and happy to learn anything new. I like clean code, and thinking ahead about legibility and long-term maintainability. I like understanding how everything works.
Here's a #fedihire post I made earlier this year with more details.
veganism.social/@sashin/115048…
I will write another more detailed post when I am in front of my laptop.
I have also been working on a new portfolio which should hopefully be up in the next few days.
I want to start writing daily fedihire posts again.

I'm looking for a job as a software developer. Ideally permanent part-time, 3 full days a week. Also open to contract work for money in the meantime.I'm based in Sydney, Australia and I am open to remote work assuming I can work during my daytime.
My past experience has been mainly in Web Development as a full stack developer.
I'm good with everything you'd expect across the stack (HTML, CSS, Javascript, sql, python, bash, git, linux) and am also well versed writing software in Rust and Elm.
I have a lot of experience speaking with clients and explaining how everything works too.
I like clean code and functional programming. I like thinking a lot about how to make things easier for other and my future self reading the code.
Happy to learn anything to fill in the gaps, and I often like learning about the problem space that the software operates in.
In my last role I had to write software used by nurses and doctors, and it was interesting learning about what their workflows and constraints were and adapting the interface to suit their needs (basically automating things that they do a lot).

I'm looking at the architecture of things like Fedora Silverblue, NixOS, and the Steam Deck.
The concept of an immutable root filesystem with atomic updates seems like the technically correct way to do an OS. No more dependency hell, no more breaking the system with a bad sudo command. But the muscle memory of apt-get install / dnf install is hard to break. Containerizing everything (flatpak/distrobox) feels like a friction point for quick tasks.
For those who daily drive an immutable distro: Was the learning curve worth the stability? Or is it still too much friction for a machine? 🤔
