A productive weekend with @nicthedoor.bsky.social checking out the many good things happening in Nanaimo and Victoria, plus a stop at the Dutch Street Market on Granville to share some LFTD. Keep an eye on Nic's channel for more... #cycling #bicycles #transportation #cities #urbanism #street

Here's a new take on my Lessons from the Dutch... Playing a round of #LFTDBingo with @nicthedoor.bsky.social in Eindhoven, and seeing how many Dutch cycling design elements and everyday cycling behaviours we could tick off... What would your city score in #LFTDBingo?

We’ve been enjoying @nicthedoor.bsky.social’s series on his latest trip to the Netherlands. He’s good at finding interesting things beyond what other videos cover, and the drone shots are excellent.

This episode features @bicycledutch.bsky.social!

How were the driveways? They seem to be a common reason why something like this wouldn't be built.
