David Rush Sets New Cup-Flipping Record as Scotland Cycling Surges
Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Bicycles outnumbered cars on Edinburgh’s Leith Walk during a morning count for Cycling Scotland’s 48-hour survey, with 67,000 bike journeys statewide (up 25% year over year) and strong impact from Edinburgh’s e-bike rental program, which has logged 1.5 million trips since last fall. In Northern California, two years after four dams were removed from the Klamath River, more than 20,000 Chinook salmon migrated upstream, with salmon repopulating about 90% of their pre-dam range within the first year. Guinness record-setter David Rush flipped 10 cups in 6.63 seconds, beating 7.59 after five months of practice. Seattle artists opened an “Inconvenience Store” art exhibition in a former 7-Eleven. In Norton, Kansas, nearly 30 inmates donated $4,267 to reduce local school lunch debt.
