A Bicycle Roundabout in Boxtel

Explaining the Dutch roundabout abroad

13 October 201526 October 2015 Bicycle Dutch

“This really looks a lot like Elephant & Castle” is what I thought when I was cycling in The Hague on the last Sunday of 2012. If “Elephant & Castle” doesn’t ring a bell: it is a major intersection in … Continue reading An ‘Elephant & Castle’ in the Netherlands
