Lelystad
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lelystad is not a destination like Amsterdam,
its a bedroom city east of Amsterdam,
But as Reclaimed ZuiderZee bed it was a blank etchasketch..
so they laid out all the houses and streets to be a lot easier and more direct,
via the bike paths, than to drive.
the streets are a bit of a maze , and results in slower traffic..
which also makes things safer for bikes and kids in the street.
