Nothing super good about this article (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/14/world/europe/14bikes.html?ex=1315886400&en=f7c2870eab4f1a4d&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss) - just a brief mental vacation from the car madness:


With more than two bicycles per person and a landscape as flat as a pancake, the Netherlands is a cyclists’ Eden.

That was evident one recent balmy afternoon as a gentle surf washed the beach and another wave, far more daunting, headed to the beach from the opposite direction. A stream of bicycles five or six abreast, some with a single rider, others with a parent and one or two children aboard, stretched as far inland as the eye could see. Parallel to it, also headed to the beach, was a puny single file of cars.
