A rubbish bin for cyclists on the move. This is on a cycle-path near a school in Assen. Making throwing rubbish into a bin into a "fun" thing to do probably helps to avoid litter. The bin is called a "blikvanger". This usually means "eye ... [more]
The centre of Hoogeveen. Post war reconstruction rebuilt this area on American lines as a wide boulevard for cars. Now it's a much more pleasant, more liveable space. Watch the video to see more. A similar example from Nijmegen can ... [more]
Cyclists' Brack: === Simon, Nigel, Clare and I have decided to constitute ourselves an informal cake research subgroup. At the time we were sampling an Irish brack or tea-cake (so called because it's made with tea, not for tea) which my m ... [more]
