🚲 What if your employer paid you to ride to work?
In Belgium, they do. 36 cents per kilometre, tax-free, for anyone who regularly cycles to work.
It's time Australia caught up. Would a ride-to-work payment get more Hobartians on bikes?

I've seen plenty of kids riding unregistered ebike on roads beyond the speed they should be allowed
and the kids did NOT pay for those ebikes.....
....their parents did
it's time the parents were held responsible for such accidents

'So, I had this idea': Scientists dispense insecticide-coated feathers for birds to build nests
Donning a helmet and a well-equipped harness, Dr Fernanda Alves looks like she is set to take on an extreme sport. Instead, she is climbing trees to check nesting boxes for a tiny and very rare bird.

Thank you @fullersbookshop for the super quick and friendly service! The cashier (who's name I didn't get 🤦) recognised me from Kingston Park Parkrun 😂
I'd just gotten out of a delicious lunch meeting at @littlelotuscafe and needed to zoom back to my office in Salamanca.

Bus lanes on Davey and Macquarie Streets would help!
The X01 from Hobart to Huntingfield takes 20 minutes. It was delayed 25 minutes today 🤦♂️
