  1. I shall have to take the Trieste tram article as a standard for posts of mine in future. Barely any typing. Bland, devoid of interesting detail and inaccuracy a must.

  2. That “Lime” bikes article is deeply troubling …
    Commenting further with ongoing legal action is going to be .. sensitive … but:
    They weigh HOW MUCH? My big “Volt” bike comes in at 21.5 kg
    And, their stated “T&C’s” for injury/damages are plainly US-centric & wholly inappropriate for the UK or any European country.
