But the capital is very fond of cyclists.

Labour party councillor Boldewijn (remember that name, so you give him a lift you can refuse if it is in the rain state to verpieteren near the opera house) want a sensor at traffic lights which ensures that cyclists longer given the green light in the rain. A lot of cyclists as Locals find it annoying that they at the traffic light need to wait if it is raining, while motorists ‘warm and dry’.

Thus, in addition to roadworks, 6 euro parking fee per hour, uitladende trucks, bierfietsen, hipsters with 30 men at a time on the street latte macchiato with quinoa and wheatgrass are drinking, throngs of Chinese tourists-with-cameras on the roadway, streetfoodfestivals and ribbons for the umpteenth liquidatieplek, is the driver also in this way get caught. Because you know that this files will generate. Good.

Now, I wonder whether mr. Boldewijn recently behind the wheel of a car in Amsterdam has driven, or that a driver is transported in a thick BMW Maybach. Because everyone in 020 know that cyclists are there at all, not waiting for a traffic light, whether it rains, snows, times there is black ice, or when the sun is shining at 30 degrees. It is all nothing, like lemmings, dumping it in the abyss that red light is called, with danger for own (and others’) life. There it changes a sissy-sensor, really nothing!

In Rotterdam they already launched a similar trial, but they could not say whether it works… Then they have the social media of autorijdende End is not seen yet, apparently…
