Many European countries have their own variations on fietsstraten (“cycling streets”), where cyclists are the main users and drivers are guests.
But these, captured in Beijing where the Dutch Cycling Embassy is visiting this week, just might be the farthest from home the treatment has ever reached!

Paris says yes to 500 more car-free streets!
In Sunday’s referendum, 67% of Parisians voted to reclaim city space for walking and cycling. The decision means 10,000 parking spaces will be removed, continuing a shift that’s already halved car traffic since 2000.

When the majority of kids cycle to school you need a lot of cycle parking, retro fitted into centuries old Dutch streets, much easier than trying to fit in a car park

What would a car-free neighborhood look like?
Soon you won't have to wonder! Utrecht is building the Netherlands’ largest car-free suburb—Merwede. The area will house 12,000 residents with 21,500 bicycle parking spaces and 250 shared cars.

Ukraine has done the grueling work of wearing down Russia's air defenses. If Europe were to take down a couple of those jets that are menacing Ukraine's airspace, Putin will have to pack up the donkeys and go back to Russia

A cycle path running alongside a main road in the Netherlands. The cycle path is some distance away from it, and separated by tree planting, providing shelter from the wind and rain, keeping cyclists safe and comfortable, far from the noise and stress of motor traffic.
