- The World's Largest Airplane Boneyard
We went for a bicycle ride yesterday with Janie and John from Flamingo on a Stick. Tucson has a really good system of cycling trails, so we looked at the map and decided on a route that would take us around Davis-Montham Airforce Base, and the largest...
- Easier Said Than Done...
We had made plans to go for a morning bicycle ride with Doug, who lives in his fifth wheel near where we're parked here at Imperial Dam. We said that we would be there around 9:00am, but our fridge burner had been acting up over night and now that...
- Finally, Our Propane Adapter Installed!
We started yesterday morning with a bike ride. Happy to be a two bicycle family again, and both of them with good tires and working properly! There's not a lot to see in the town of Quartzsite, but there were a couple of areas that are worth a visit....

VIDEO: Bicycle Rush Hour In Utrecht, Netherlands
Utrecht is the 4th largest city in the Netherlands and probably it didn't get much of your attention yet. But look at this video taken on an ordinary Wednesday morning in April 2010 at around 8.30 and be amazed. When 33% of ALL trips in a city are made by bicycle, this is how the streets look like on rush hour.
Biking is healthier, greener, cheeper and sometimes even faster than driving a car or riding a bus; and with all that biker friendly infrastructure in place, biking around is safe too. Utrecht has a population of 300,000 and no less than 22,000 bicycles and 2,500 buses pass this junctions every day.
In recent years, public bicycle rental programs have sprouted in cities across the globe and bike sharing is quickly becoming a new form of public transport. So you can say bye bye to the age of the automobile. Its so yesterday.
