Two Wheels To Nowhere

TBT~1958 – Traffic jam in Amsterdam. Something you don’t see as much anymore in Amsterdam – bikes in the automobile lanes. In the 1970s, deliberate policy changes helped form the network of bikepaths and bicycle infrastructure that we see in the Netherlands today. Another thing in this photograph you will never see in Canada: a very old lady doing her errands on a bicycle stuck in the middle of automobile traffic, like this.
