To get people out of cars, it's absolutely to get the elderly on bicycles. I'm not talking about people in their 90s; but getting the 50-to-80s cadre cycling will change society. It will end forever the image of the cyclist as an arrogant young man, and make cycling obviously what it is: functional, sensible, the most essential way to save our climate, and to save our health

wtf?!

    Did you respond to the wrong post?

    This seems to be some toot posted to mastodon.ie - if you somehow saw it on the EU instance it's just because they're federated. The purpose of the instance is for EU institutions to have accounts to post from, it's not really intended for casual surfing. :)
