I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t wait for Sepp Kuss - I’ve watched Sepp ride for them countless times while commentating these past years, I’m a huge fan of his. He’s class.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

This is real journalism. This is real public education.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the BBC fulfilled their public education remit like this.

All over Paris car parking spaces are being upgraded to plots for trees and micro gardens - cooling the city, cleaning the air & making the streets more pleasant for people - thanks to the vision & tenacity of city's mayor...
