Ohh, so "pavement" meaning a sealed road surface?

In my head I'm trying to figure out what the footpath (U.S. "sidewalk") a.k.a. U.K. pavement fits in with the jibe.

No, the "distributor" is the part which runs on your portable device, receives the push notifications, and wakes up the target apps as necessary.

do cars, and don’t forget to include pollution.

..and the health effects of lowered physical activity, social isolation, stress of long commutes in traffic, inaccessibility of vital health and social services, ...and don't forget all the externalities to supply that 2 tons of vehicle, and fuel, and roads, etc.

Sounds like a good case for banning cars from nightlife strips during peak activity hours.

Sorry everyone, I did try searching the lemmyverse for any previous postings of this article using "signal" in the search feature on my instance, but it turned up nothing at the time.

Lemmy.world seems to have a handle on all the cross posts: https://lemmy.world/post/9121235

Having wider tyres ~2"/50mm or so pretty much eliminates the risk (and gives a comfy ride). If you really like the speed of narrow tyres, it's really quite safe with the right technique -- crossing tracks at an angle to avoid mishaps (I find 30° is sufficient, 90° is never a problem), and when they're slippery, treating them like ice. It becomes second nature soon enough.

I think there are some rubber/elasromer inserts which have been developed which also eliminate the groove -- it presents a flat surface to bikes, yet squishes down for the tram wheel flange under the immense weight.
