Oh, look at that! The preview picture shows the bicycle parking in my home town Alphen aan den Rijn (didn't see it on the linked page though).
Encouraging and enabling your employees to commute sustainably can make a big impact.
At the DCE, not only do all of our employees travel to work by bike and public transit, but we also have a network full of organisations facilitating the same thing.

Nice to see Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring again at #cinematek #oslo. Very nice talk by Chance Thomas of Lord of the Rings Online before it as well. And cool the movie got an applause at the end :) Hopefully the other two movies will be shown soon as well! (But not planned yet :( )
