I’ve just made it 4,900km across Australia from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in five weeks. 100km tomorrow to Bondi and then I’m done. From Whadjuk Nyoongar country to D’harawal country. #eBike4Australia 🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

The Royal National Park south of Sydney is an example of what much of coastal southeastern Australia was like before colonisation and deforestation. It’s a reminder of why we must protect what’s left and end logging and land clearing. #eBike4Australia

Lots of support and encouragement from fellow cyclists this morning including from Balance Triathlon. Less than 50km to Bondi now. I got this! #eBike4Australia

I’ve just ridden my eBike 4750 km across Australia to promote renewable energy. The most important thing I did was have conversations with everyday Australians. They all want the same thing. An end to political mischief and real climate action. #eBike4Australia

Please folks, if you still have a gasoline vehicle in 2024 park it OUTSIDE. They spontaneously ignite and it's not worth the risk. 💔

Transportation in cities is about moving PEOPLE, not about moving cars. Think about how many people are moving easily in this Thomas Schlijper video of Amsterdam. The more people moving without a car in cities, the better it is for EVERYONE, including drivers.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

Every time someone chooses cycling over driving one kilometer society is €1,35 richer. Through safer streets, cleaner air, lighter traffic, higher productivity, and cheaper medical and maintenance bills. Shouldn’t governments do everything in their power to enable that choice?

All Countries will Experience an Development like 🇳🇴 Norway Some sooner, some later, but it will happen everywhere, not for ideological reasons, but because of economic efficiency, geopolitical dependencies, and its simply a better drive experience.

My family recently discovered the amazing history of my great-great-grandfather William Bleakley and how he played a key role in the early development of EVs. Founded in 1916, British Electric Vehicles (BEV) made a range of small battery electric trucks. danielbleakley.substack.com/p/how-i-discov…

Fascinating story! And simply amazing that electric vehicles were on the agenda well over a hundred years before they started taking over. (My only question, Daniel. Are they the vehicle batteries behind him, or the load he is taking? 🥸

Thanks to two British researchers, my family recently uncovered the incredible history of William Bleakley and how he played a key role in the early development of electric vehicles thedriven.io/2025/01/31/how…

And yet, despite the fact that the UK has got (by far) the better end of the deal and are holding an inquiry; here in Australia (with the worst end of the deal) both sides of politics are opposed to any review. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-0…
