"It was not a left-wing or a right-wing issue. I didn’t give up and I never took a ‘no’ for a ‘no’."

Stop the Kindermoord was founded in the 1970s and helped the Netherlands become the cycling paradise it is today.

This is the first Dutch red cycling path.

It's located on the Boomstraat in Tilburg. In 1977, local planners created what is now an icon in bicycle infrastructure. @karenromme.bsky.social has written a wonderful piece about its origins.

Spent the afternoon pottering around Rotterdam on the Brompton, loosely following a route that took me to some interesting play spaces, but also generally taking in Rotterdam. It’s not as easy a city to cycle as others, but the cycling infrastructure is still safe and connected. Even for Spiderman.
