The Lent Loper bridge is a pretty neat structure with two levels and pathway between the lower ones that act as part of it's structure… The Face of Nijmegen is a recreation of the Nijmegen Helmet from the first or second century AD... More in the blog... www.rollinginthecity.ca/blog/back-to...

With a flight home out of Amsterdam, it would have been rude not to spend a couple of days in the Netherlands, and after a few weeks in cities that still have a way to go, it was so good to again enjoy the ease of getting around the Netherlands by bicycle… www.rollinginthecity.ca/blog/back-to...

Vienna might be getting a lot of press for their red bicycle street, but they previously rolled out an entirely green protected bike path... Do they need to pick one colour for their bike infrastructure? More in the blog... www.rollinginthecity.ca/blog/the-awa...

More red bicycle street from the Vienna blog post, great to see others adopting such treatments... But could the sidewalk be more continuous, and could the signal have been removed and the bicycle street given priority? More in the blog... www.rollinginthecity.ca/blog/the-awa...

While on the island for new year, I had time to check in on our ISL Metral Drive project. Been finished for a few years now, but still one of the best examples of continuous sidewalks and bike paths in Canada... On this cold damp day, there were still people of all ages and abilities using it...
