The nudge of a stranger and coaster brakes: Thoughts on biking in The Netherlands
In Utrecht a man who wanted to pass me on a bike path gently pushed me out of his way without saying a word.
4/16: Quick update on my condition: After posting Monday Roundup yesterday, things went downhill. Had a really bad day (won't go into details, but it included vomiting). Feeling better today, but I don't think Bike Happy Hour is a good idea. I'll miss everyone and will definitely see you next week. Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor
