Shot in Utrecht (Netherlands), “this is an ordinary Wednesday morning in April 2010 at 8.30am.
(…) The non-fatal injury rate for the USA is about 30 times higher than for the Netherlands.”
See how many cyclists, tramways, bus…
• Injury rate per million km cycled: USA 37.5 – NL 1.4
• Fatality rate per 100 million km cycled: USA 5.8- NL 1.1

Le week-end dernier, j’ai trouvé le livre “Velo”, qui donne un large aperçu de cette culture qui nous uni, avec des portraits de coursiers, des illustrations, photos vintage et actuelles, une visite chez un cadreur ou un designer, quelques pages sur les Alley Cat, ces courses à check-point…

Michael, from the swedish Komet Club Rouleur has sent a really nice mail I wanted to share:
Hello Brusselsbikepolo
Just a quick hello and thanks to all the players from sunday from the swedish guy who played a short round – great crowd and fantastic that I could borrow a bike. I would have loved to stay longer, but had to go. Next time…
If any of you visit Gothenburg, don’t hesitate to contact me for cykelpolo, some urban cyling or just a drink.
