BIKE!

CycleStore Box, August 2007


May 2007. Parking for free. Allows 60o bikes to park.

These are different types of bike racks. Very interesting-- simple yet functional pieces that encourages biking, and at the same time, keeps the place organized. For more info click on the link below (the link is in Dutch, can use online translation sites to translate, or do extra research).

If the ground here is flatter with less hills, for sure more people would bike. But it is there hills and mountains here that makes this place unique and beautiful. I find biking very difficult, the drivers always will cut lanes really close to you, and the air is not exactly that clean. I feel extremely intimidated when I bike. There is a personal feel-good-factor though. I've almost completely abandoned driving.
