Blizzard

We had a blizzard yesterday that lasted the whole day. I don't know how much snow we have but it was enough to have an advanced snow shovel to clean the cycle path I had never seen before. Last winter many cyclist had fallen and were injured with broken arms or shoulders because the paths were full with ice and snow. Only motorways were kept clean. After a national complaint about the dereliction of the cyclists, some cities decided to do something about it and I am glad Almere does so too.
 
If you were some time in the supermarket you could find your bike like this.

  7. Bij ons was het niet zo erg. Om twaalf uur moest ik even boodschappen doen en toen was hè al allemaal bagger. Vanmorgen was bijna alles weg. Hier viel het dus alles mee, bij jullie een een ander verhaal

  11. I am so impressed that snowy weather does not keep cyclists off the streets. An amazing biking culture. I also want to thank you for your faithful visits and comments. I've been busy making photo projects/albums/calendars for holiday gifts which has been VERY time consuming and I haven't been visiting as I normally would so I thank you for your loyalty!!
