That's really weird. I live in #utrecht and I would say 90% of cyclists stop for red lights except in exceptional situations. I have developed the habit of always waiting for the light, because as a foreigner I am not skilled enough at anticipating what could go wrong to safely decide when to run the light. I've never been rear-ended by another cyclist.

@CiaraNi @quixoticgeek @patrickhadfield

I have yet to attempt to cycle there. :)

@CiaraNi @quixoticgeek @patrickhadfield

I do want to bike up the Vecht at some point, and that will necessarily involve a trip to Centraal so I don't have to bike back, but haven't found the time yet on an appropriately cloudy day. :)

@quixoticgeek @CiaraNi @patrickhadfield

To get in some hills?

@quixoticgeek @CiaraNi @patrickhadfield

Oh, hah, I guess that means from the south. But where's the challenge in that? One of these days I want to bike across the Afsluitdijk... Apparently you can get some really fun winds there.

@abhayakara @CiaraNi @patrickhadfield Afsluitdijk with a headwind is a personal nightmare. It's 32km with no shelter and no break. I've cycled across it once, with a wonderful tailwind.

Cycling's supposed to be fun, no point making it harder than it needs to be.

@quixoticgeek @CiaraNi @patrickhadfield

I used to live in Vermont. After a while the hills get good to you. So I actually enjoy headwinds. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm not lying. :)
