The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

My church let a philosopher preach today and it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Finally, a beautifully clear and logical piece of public oratory in the church. I was basically channeling this guy from my pew the whole time.
