I was recently diagnosed with cancer. TL;DR: I’m doing well and treatment is working. I’m much luckier than many. I’ve decided to share the way that cycling and public transit have become such an important part of my cancer journey and the overwhelmingly positive impact they’ve had on my mental and physical well-being. My hope is that it can show other recently diagnosed people that there can be hope, though I recognize that we are all are on our own different journeys. #Brompton #Transit 1/3

🧵 12/21 https://www.visitstockholm.com/travel-info/public-transportation-in-stockholm/ To get to Rinkeby and Drottningholm, I used public transport. The underground train system was easy to understand and use, and the trains were clean and comfortable. Using the bus was a little more challenging, but the transportation workers were happy to help me. Individual tickets were not cheap, and concessions to the elderly and young notwithstanding, I wondered how big of an expense commuting is for those working in Stockholm. SL, the transportation authority for the city, makes much of the public art in the underground stations. I did not go to enough stations to take in this part of the system. I did, however, get the impression that less of the wall space in the system is covered with advertising compared to the Underground in London or the Metro in Paris. That fleeting impression of mine could be mistaken though. Even though I did not use it much, I was glad to see that Stockholm has an efficient and comprehensive public transport system. How much of a problem is car use in Stockholm? How many people in Stockholm and Sweden in general have fallen under the malign spell of the oversized US style SUV? #Sweden #Stockholm #Transit #PublicTransport #Cars #SUV #SL

What if transit was seen as the prime mode of transportation for a city instead of something in place for those poor people who can't afford a car or those seniors who no longer drive? I mean those poor people we should do something for them! Of course they can't expect it to be as good as owning a car! We can't provide a limousine for everyone! And you people are communists for not wanting to be good consumers and buying an enshittified new car every 5 years like everyone else! #Ottawa #Transit #Transportation
