Dashing through the snow (in the Netherlands)
I love the video in this blog post!
It's shot in the city called ’s-Hertogenbosch, which is a city whose spelling is intriguing to me, since it begins with an apostrophe. And the cyclists there are definitely pretty tough.

Wow, that is so cool. Looks like a great place to be. Notice, no special gear, no helmets and separate bikeways. Sooo! Nice. Thanks for posting that Tom, I love it too.

Tough? It looks like they've got it pretty easy, and apparently it's not even cold enough that they need to wear a hat!

Boring explanation, that apostrophe s replaces the possessive pronoun 'des', meaning 'of the'. 'des-Hertogenbosch means 'Wood of the dukes', written old-fashionedly, in a possessive case no longer used in Dutch.
