Bike lane

in some parts of boston and cambridge you have separate bike lanes. as above; the green lane is for bikes... in the netherlands, almost everywhere you have separate bike lanes. being used to that, i really do not feel comfortable biking here, especially in combination with the shitty roads (so many big holes you have to avoid, while at the same time avoiding big cars!), and big cars that are not used to tiny bikes...
as i said so often before; i really miss taking my bike and going somewhere quickly...

American emptiness

this was last week, in new hampshire. it felt like we were driving through a movie set. everything so empty, here and there a house, a lone shop, just like in the movies. only the men with guns were missing.. but we did see a gun shop (i ofcourse thought it was a gum shop, at first..).
