nostr:npub18p4uh2hjll3c893jg452d3hc8uzets9ga8qa29asgxcjqtjsa5sq3pxjng I am glad you published this article, but it would be even better with more data and less repetition.

When I was living in Bonn, I calculated the cost of buying a used bicycle versus a monthly bus ticket for just four months, and bought the bike, which I then used for all my transport, including grocery shopping, as well as some leisure trips. The infrastructure and the culture completely support it. In suburban New Jersey, I can get to my office faster by bike than by car, including the time it takes to park the car and then walk to the lot. But the infrastructure is completely lacking in New Jersey, and car culture is actually hostile to bikers. New York City built bike lanes, and the number of bicylists has rised rapidly despite the on-going hostility of motor vehicle riders. How do we change car culture?

Writing the World in Early Medieval England, co-written by Nicole Guenther Discenza and Heide Estes, is out today from Cambridge UP and open access for the next two weeks, through 22 September. The early medieval English were diverse and well connected to the broader world. Their historical, documentary, liturgical and literary writings reveal substantial interest in Europe, Asia, and Africa; in addition to textual sources, they traveled abroad and interacted with visitors to England. The connections as well as the divisions they constructed still have impact today. Writing the World would be an excellent supplement for courses on early medieval England and/or Europe and will interest scholars seeking an overview of the way a wide range of texts described the world they knew and imagined.

Also wondering how cycling (ebike and … non) compare, if you’re the one that made this. When I was bike commuting an hour a day in NYC, I figure I consumed around an extra 500 calories a day, which also has a footprint, even though I’m vegan.
