De kraanvogel blijft terugkeren. Dit keer koos hij een nieuw uitkijkpunt op de #a2 bij Breukelen: de auto van de weginspecteur. Het levert National Geographic-achtige beelden op. 😻 Er zijn geen rijstroken dicht en alles is nu veilig. We houden een oogje in het zeil.

This piece could just as easily have been written about atmospheric scientists and climate modellers.

We all need to get out of the computers and into the real world more often

The Dutch will double intercity bike routes in the next 5 years, from 1100 to 2300km.

Every city has local routes: Utrecht, for example, has 420km of separated bike lanes & bike streets. 𝘿𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 allow people to safety go by bike throughout NL.
