Last week I wrapped up my posts covering various places visited around Europe a few months ago; I also delivered an overview presentation about all my observations last night at the first of the Biketober seminar series. We only briefly …

Soon after our return from Europe, I mentioned how I had managed to snap an updated photo of cyclists while at a Copenhagen intersection in early June. Having regaled you since with posts of several other cities around Europe, it’s …
