Ask me why I cycle without a helmet

I am not against bicycle helmets but only for kids and with sports activities like mountain biking, road racing or BMX riding.

The problem lays in the use of bicycle helmets in everyday use of the bicycle.
Mikael-Colville Andersen, founder of Copenhagen Cycle Chic, tells about his anti-helmet opinion and research at a TEDx talk. And I can only agree with him.

Netherlands Numbered Junction Bicycle Network

The Netherlands has a bicycle network of numbered junctions that can be used to plot a (recreational) cycle route. The advantage over previous systems is the great freedom with which routes can be planned.

The system started in Belgium and is slowly but surely finding its way to the North of the Netherlands.

This video shows and explains the system.

Music maestro, please!

Bicycles and music, a great combination
