5 minutes, 157 cyclists, no cars. Welcome to Groningen, the Netherlands.

Smart City: Market square at daytime, bicycle parking at night.

Experiencing a perfect cycling roundabout in @velotropolis. Notice how cars always need to stop when crossing the bicycle paths. A design that sends a clear message: 🚲 > 🚙

Lots of bicycle ambition in @hamburg_de Check their new (very cool!) platform to get informed: fahrrad.hamburg/en/

TWO ASIDE JAUNT Cycling is social, shared Therefore: Plan cycle paths wide enough to cycle side by side. Do you know other (hidden) necessary conditions for cycling? Add them here under #CyclingPatternLanguage More info on this project: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Interesting piece from #TreeHugger "It isn't about the vehicle; It is about a fundamental reassessment of how our road space is distributed and regulated." Well, it is also a bit about the vehicle we feel... treehugger.com/bikes/are-carg…
