European governments have “systematically” shrunk their railways & starved them of funding while pouring money into expanding their road network, a report has found. Length of motorways in Europe 🌍 grew 60% between 1995 & 2020 while railways shrank 6.5% https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/19/european-governments-railways-road-building-report-motorways-funding-rail
During the pandemics I did not find any #organic #restaurant openings in #Munich -- but now, finally the #organictraveller's #travelguide https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-restaurants comes with new entries for the #Glockenbach neighbourhood: lovely #Italian and #mediterranean / #oriental food which I full-heartedly recommend.
#Packagefree #supermarkets try hard to find new ways to survive - and those in #Bremen are no exception: The nicest #zerowaste shop in town is about to relocate, leaving its splendid venue behind, another one is turning into a #cooperative . The updated #organictraveller's #travelguide https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen-zero-waste also comes w/ new entries, e.g. a source of fresh #organic veges from a #communal #farm.
@mastobikes_de @fedibikes_de @dieiaa @CriticalMass Frage/Kommentar einer Erstteilnehmerin: Gibt's auch eine #CriticalMass in #Dessau-#Roßlau? Vielleicht weiß das jemand vom @Umweltbundesamt dort?
Gemütliche #Radtour durch #München: Heute, Fr 8.9.23 gibt's ab 18:30 eine Sonder-#CriticalMass aus Anlass der #NoIAA. Auf's Rad schwingen und die Stadt an einem lauen Sommerabend im Fahrradverbund aus unbekannter Perspektive, nämlich der der Autofahrenden, erkunden.
Treffpunkt 18:30 an der #Bavaria / #theresienwiese Wer's nicht schafft, findet die #CM mit der #CriticalMaps-App.

If you are in #Munich Friday to come (Sep 8th) join the extraordinary #CriticalMass in honour of the #NoIAA . Note that this leisurely #bicycleride (only this time) will start from the #Bavaria monument at 6:30pm (NOT as usual from BayrischeStaatsoper). @dieiaa @CriticalMass @fedibikes_de @mastobikes_de #BurnFatNotOil #München #cm #wirSindDerVekehr
However, the passage between #Constance and #Meersburg is way cheaper, faster and more frequent (approx. every 12 minutes in both directions) on the #carferry run by the #StadtwerkeKonstanz from / to the #ferry #port of #Staade: https://www.stadtwerke-konstanz.de/faehre/fahrplan/
#Bicycles are allowed on and from board before the cars.

How cool is this: #Bicycle stands on the #BSB #LakeConstance #Ferry from #Meersburg via Isle of #Mainau to #Constance (and retour).
Despite #Bremen's long history as a #hanseatic #coffee hub the way to a decent #fair-traded, #organic coffee drink (or #tea) can be longer than expected: Here's the updated #organictraveller's #travelguide to organic #cafes, #teahouses and #coffeespots, with interesting new discoveries: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen-coffeehouses
Down-to-earth #fineDining for all in #Bremen (if you can't afford the more sophisticated dishes there's a pay-as-you-can meal made from the same quality ingredients): This year I managed to have #dinner at a partially #organic #vegan #restaurant I discovered last year in the very city center - and here are the updates to the #organictraveller 's #restaurantguide : https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen-restaurants
Taking your #bike with you on a #DeutscheBahn long-distance #train usually requires early planning and ticket acquisition well (i.e. several months) in advance. So #renting a #bicycle at your destination comes in as your next option, preferably from a #local #bikeshop. Here is the #organictraveller's update on independent #bikerental in #Bremen: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen#bike-rental_bremen
While the weather is still nice in #Bremen: Here's the 2023 update to the #organictraveller' guide to a #civilisedDrink aka (partially #organic) #bar: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen-bars
Insider's tip for #Munich visitors: The newly established, lovingly furnished #rooftop terrace #Kulturdachgarten on top of the #Gasteig building with a gorgeous view: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11083520787
With foodstalls offering #vegetarian / #vegan food and bar sheds with a small selection of #organic beverages, a great opportunity to mingle with both, people from the neighbourhood and a mixed multi-lingual crowd. Open daily from 5 pm.
#PeopleNotCars in #Munich: During the first week of September (3rd through 10th) centrally located #Hackenplatz https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2810072057 will turn into a place to #socialize, relax and #celebrateTheSummer . Highlight will be a night with #tango and a #fireshow Sep, 8th: https://www.greencity.de/event/die-brunnennacht-am-hackenplatz/ Help wanted to install this temporary intervention: https://www.greencity.de/event/hackenplatz-platz-hacken/

🏰 🇨🇿 Schlösser, historische Städte und mehr: Habt ihr gewusst, dass es in #Tschechien 16 UNESCO-Welterbestätten gibt? Und das Beste: Sie lassen sich wunderbar zu einer Rundreise mit dem Zug verbinden!
Wie das funktioniert und was euch unterwegs erwartet, erfahrt ihr in diesem Thread 🧵

Ok, den første versjonen av mitt prisovervåkingsverktøy for Entur er publisert:
https://github.com/Dabendorf/Norwegian-Train-Price-Calendarinator
Den er nok ekstremt brukeruvennlig, men alle med en Raspberry Pi, for mye tid og interesse i billige togbilletter får gjerne teste den.
Den sender ut eposter om en forbindelse blir billigere.
Jeg er spent hvordan den funker i praksis.#NorskTut
Ironisk nok har jeg akkurat nå ingen tog jeg ønsker å ta
"Lawmakers on Wednesday approved a bill that calls for the cars of people who exceed the speed limit by more than 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph) in developed areas or 70 kph (43 mph) outside town limits temporarily confiscated. Repeat offenders could have their vehicles permanently confiscated and auctioned off"
