This new community electric car took it's first trip in the Llandrindod carnival parade earlier this month. πŸŽ‰πŸ’ƒ

Llandrindod Transition and Tripto Car Club worked together to raise funds and public support for the project. Public transport in their part of mid-Wales is limited - now people can now join the car club and borrow for trips without having to own their own vehicle.

It's one of three community cars Tripto look after in the area - and interest is certainly growing: "More and more people are feeling empowered in the fight against climate change and air pollution by driving one of our shared electric vehicles."

The solutions we need aren't just about individuals making different choices - there's lots to be done to give people new alternatives in the first place.

Well done to everyone at Llandrindod Transition and Tripto for making the idea a reality and opening up access to greener travel in your area!

How does long travel compare to train travel? Interested to hear your experiences. Looking into options for a conference in Gothenburg. About 19 hours by train with a minimum of 4 layovers. Flixbus can do it in 1 layover for 23 hours. One layover during the night sounds far more comfortable already.

@kathleenmary Thank you so much. We're in Melbourne and retired now so perfect timing to explore Australia by train and without a massive carbon footprint

Study shows cyclists break fewer rules of the road than car drivers. We win, we win! (OK, technically the proof is only in Denmark but still ❀️ πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ) forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2

Good morning all. Another day, another rail journey. Nearly 12km walked yesterday by the end of my day. Walk to the university along the canal this morning which will be lovely.

Walked my legs off today. All trains ran pretty much on time. Happy that my low carbon footprint is inverse to my very high step count!

Bit of a trek to Shrewsbury to get it serviced at @davemellorcycle but well worth it, excellent customer service and they were really good with the child and his particular needs. Thanks folks 😊
In other news, the R&M had nerfed a set of front pads in 1800km 😳
