  1. “Not an electric bike craze” – must agree.
    Two years ago, at the then age of 75, I got an electro-bile { Wiley E. Bicycle } – it has transformed my local ( i.e. within a 16km-radius ) travels

  2. There’s something wrong with dimensions in the Messina bridge article. They cannot possibly be building 8,000 km of new railways on Sicily. The island is a bit over 300 km east to west and 200 km maximum north to south. What is meant by the bridge being 3.6 km long and 3.3 km wide? Is 3.3 km the main span between the towers? If so, the approach spans seem very short.

  3. Londoner in Scotland: I noticed the square dimensions too, maybe the latest secret design is for a pyramid
