Introducing the new Brompton “700” 

A lot of you have told us that you don’t like the little 16″ wheels on our current range of Bromptons. We’ve listened, and after years of patient research we are launching our new range, available in all the colours you love, but with a twist (etc)

So a bus can carry 12 people using the roadspace per person equivalent to one car.  

6.5 bikes use the same road space as a car.

In Multibillion-Dollar Deal, Strava Acquires Users’ Eternal Souls

https://dumbrunner.com/training-news/2025/4/18/in-multimillion-dollar-deal-strava-acquires-users-eternal-souls

Strava, the popular fitness app for cyclists and runners, this week reached an agreement to acquire the eternal souls of its users, Dumb Runner has learned—a deal thought to be worth $3.5 billion.

The transaction is believed to be the first of its kind in the tech world, where companies usually acquire other companies and not “the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.”

“We are thrilled to announce our latest acquisition—the very timeless spirit of each and every one of our users,” the company said in a statement posted online. “Strava already boasted the world’s largest fitness community; now, we’ll have the world’s largest collection of that ineffable, eternal spark inside all human beings, infinitely more holy and more enduring than these crude husks we briefly inhabit, made of flesh, bone, and blood.”

“It’s a very exciting time.”

Strava claims “over 150 million athletes in more than 185 countries,” according to its website; that would put the value assigned to each soul at roughly $23.

Well I can’t claim to

Well I can’t claim to understand it.  And I know there are tech-bros who (like even us mildly techy youngest-brothers) who would happily spend their gazillions on stuff because it was “cool” (e.g. like this – pennies for Bezos I imagine).

… but I think the standard efforts are indeed aimed at financial benefit.  Well, if you’ll accept “securing territory” e.g. market share and presumably future market share (in a market place of their making – the most profitable kind)?
