Libby Schaaf, Oakland Mayor, My New Hero
As Spain, France, Italy and other countries disallow cycling for fear of accidents that would stress the hospital system, Libby agreed with the concept, but not the approach, and instead has banned motorists from 74 miles of streets in Oakland (save of emergency vehicles) so cyclists and peds can have safe space to social distance and exercise. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/10/coronavirus-oakland-banishes-cars-from-74-miles-of-city-streets/

Team INEOS Fights COVID-19
The pro cycling team just released a genuine “feel good” video on their prime sponsor’s quick action to help protect medical workers in the UK. Ineos is a vertically integrated petroleum producer, which attracted intense negative publicity (dirty fossil fuels) when it took over sponsorship of Team Sky. The company is now producing its own hand sanitizer in high volume exclusively and at no cost for British hospitals. The sanitizer is being delivered by the logistics staff at Team Ineos - very much a “Grand Tour” winner in my eyes.
