<p>The municipal election is coming up.</p>

<p>Today national politicians are on TV discussing free lunches for schoolchildren.</p>

<p>I find it weird: these are not the people we are going to vote for, and free lunches for schoolchildren is not something that will be decided locally on a municipal level.</p>

<p>I blame it on media.</p>

On the green pole behind the scooter there&#39;s some bike tools attached to a steel wire.</p>

<p>A new one I think was launched yesterday or in the weekend:
<img src="https://i.snap.as/xdSOL6v.jpg" alt="&#34;Flash&#34; electric scooter."/></p>

<p>Behind this scooter you can see the end of a rental bike rack.</p>

<p>I like how it is getting simpler and simpler to move around by bike.</p>

<p>Haven&#39;t really made up my mind about the electric scooters yet.</p>
