This week my tour along all the provincies brought me in Groningen. I was surprised by the public space in the city: beautiful pavements and a cyclist's paradise. Terribly impressed by the Stadsbalkon (‘city balcony’) which offers a slightly raised, easy and almost traffic free entrance to the innercity. Beneath it there is a storage for about 4.500 bikes! This facility really suites a cyclists with an underground thoroughfare, short routing, signage for open parking slots, open air, light and safe.
