It consists of a pivoting "horseshoe" and a threaded rod and Minerva might like it on her front fork. :) If you are interested in it, I could sell it to you or make a trade.

They're more "streetcar" cities than medieval cities. Even more parallel is Cophenhagen, which in 1940 looked a lot like Boston in 1940, and in 1970 looked a lot like Boston in 1970, but now looks like Utrecht. I think that the number of cars is probably small compared to the number of residents, and the cars in general are smaller, but I'd agree that it probably would be easier, cheaper and more convenient to make most trips by bike or foot than by car. It's only when going out of the urban center that you'd need a car, though if you check out David Hembrow's blog " A view from the bicycle path", there's a lot of bike infrastructure in bedroom suburbs over there too.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-22313934505289506682011-03-05T12:40:13.440-05:002011-03-05T12:40:13.440-05:00I suspect for Boston to be like Utrecht - the plac...I suspect for Boston to be like Utrecht - the place was founded about 800 years too late.<br /><br />As for Utrecht, one has to wonder why there are as many cars evident in the photos as there are. I would think that driving around there would be akin to driving a triple trailer combination around a city in the US. As in something you would NOT want to do if you had a choice.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-4621043055753743112011-03-04T17:29:16.364-05:002011-03-04T17:29:16.364-05:00Beautiful pics!

I'm very involved in operations and am the bd member in charge of staff. If it was, I'd just like to know what your experience was so I can share some anonymous feedback with the staff and retail volunteers.<br /><br />email me at maria @ thebikedepot.org if it was us and if you're interested in sharing some specific feedback. <br />Thanks! :-)MandGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961629785452003493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-65014067719058852562011-03-04T14:35:41.200-05:002011-03-04T14:35:41.200-05:00Velouria
