Brussels Express is an interesting film about the traffic problems faced by the heavily congested city.

Well worth watching.

This is a bit of a cheat, as it is my bike.

It is an Achielle Craighton Opa and I was lucky enough to win it in the Tredlie Magazine subscription competition. Yes, people really do win those competitions!

I’d say this bike is something of a rarity these days, in that the frame is made and the bicycle assembled in the one factory in Belgium.

Have you ever wondered how a bicycle is made? This is how it was done back in 1945.

I wonder what was in the “special solution”.

On the Dutch National holiday, the 30th of April, the Dutch celebrate the birthday of their queen Beatrix of Orange Nassau. Not only in honor of the House of Orange everybody wears the color orange, it is also a sign of togetherness. The celebrations take place on the streets and everybody goes there by bike. Dressed for the occasion, not for cycling.

Tom takes the peaceful road to work in impeccable cold weather kit.

Now this is how saddles should be decorated! And the grips match too. Spotted in North Hobart.

This is an interesting idea. Bike Hour.

What do you think? Will it work?
