Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Nine: 's-Hertogenbosch to Nijmegen
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_3.html
Thursday, 17 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Nine: 's-Hertogenbosch to Nijmegen. I'd clocked up many miles (or kilometres, if you like) on the bike so far on this trip. Not just riding between cities as detailed on here but cycling within those cities as well, trying to cram in as much cycle track tourism as I could whilst I had the chance. I took a well earned rest for a few hours after arriving in 's-Hertogenbosch before Mark Wagenbuur. And, knowing I would be passing cl...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part One: Hook of Holland to Rotterdam
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/01/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_11.html
Monday, 11 January 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part One: Hook of Holland to Rotterdam. If you've ever been on a cycling trip to the Netherlands then chances are that you'll have passed through The Hook of Holland. Or Hoek Van Holland to give it its Dutch name. You don't even need to leave the port itself before you access a traffic free cycle route; just cross straight over the railway track and onto a cycle track alongside the ferry port. Although the road lead to a dead end so is ...

Hackney cyclist: June 2016
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 June 2016. The new East - West Cycle Superhighway in London: before and after pictures. It being a Sunday afternoon it was fairly quiet along most of the stretch. So these photos probably did not reflect the usual conditions you would get when cycling here at peak times on a weekday. With the exception of where the carriageway was restricted due to the Superhighway construction works, where there were queues. Or young friends cycling together in groups. 8212; The Ranty Highwayman (@RantyHighwa...

Hackney cyclist: July 2016
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 8 July 2016. Picture Post: 30 minutes outside Nijmegen station in the rain. A week ago I stood outside Nijmegen station. For around ten minutes, with a broken bike, taking pictures of people cycling. I then went into the bike maintenance area in the large bike parking lot under the station to get it fixed and then stood outside again taking more pictures as I realised I would not have a bike for the rest of the day.

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Ten: Nijmegen to Utrecht
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_22.html
Tuesday, 22 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Ten: Nijmegen to Utrecht. I began my journey out of Nijmegen by riding through. An old industrial area alongside the river Waal that is in the process of being regenerated with a mixture of. Derelict land, new houses being built and former industrial buildings, now all being used by new industries. I'd actually been there the previous evening for dinner and a few beers on the recommendation of my Airbnb host. The. To leave the ci...

Hackney cyclist: February 2016
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 February 2016. Converting roundabouts into crossroads. Last year The Times newspaper published a map of the most dangerous road junctions. This was despite it repeatedly being pointed out to him that this section is actually not segregated. At all and had been widely criticised after the CS2 extension was opened by both cycle campaigners. And the London Cycling Campaign. With nearly £600,000 spent doing so in 2011. Before and after images from google earth. With the local tenants association ...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Seven: Breda to Eindhoven via Tilburg
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Seven: Breda to Eindhoven via Tilburg. Following a couple of hours of cycling aimlessly around Breda on a Monday morning, just heading in random directions to see what it was like, I began my journey east out of the city on one of the main roads, which had bi-directional cycle tracks. Along both sides of it. As I approached the river which circles the city I turned left onto a filtered road. The residential properties suddenly ga...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Five: Amsterdam to Hook of Holland via The Hague
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/01/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_19.html
Tuesday, 19 January 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Five: Amsterdam to Hook of Holland via The Hague. I spent the first two hours of Monday morning enjoying cycling on very busy roads. Following the rush hour I stopped off for breakfast and to buy some clogs, magnets and other crappy tourist gifts for people back home from the Albert Cuyp market. Going about their day, mostly on bikes. I crossed over Amstelveenseweg. Along a bicycle road. In three locations in order to create space...

Hackney cyclist: Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Eight: Eindhoven to 's-Hertogenbosch
http://hackneycyclist.blogspot.com/2016/11/cycling-between-cities-in-netherlands_86.html
Wednesday, 16 November 2016. Cycling between cities in the Netherlands - Part Eight: Eindhoven to 's-Hertogenbosch. All main roads had cycle tracks of course, along with other cycle only routes, such as the Dommel "silly walks" tunnel. This tunnel is an unusual and interesting place to visit but more importantly it is a well used cycling and walking only route under the railway lines which links the University on one side, with its own network of cycle tracks. Following the morning rush I looked at pictu...
