Had to shorten my ride, all the NS delays earlier meant I started too late, and I'm butting up against the ends of the train timetable. Still managed 83km, and perhaps the more int achievement giving I'm cycling in the Netherlands. 230m of climbing...

Now waiting for a train home.

In #NZ there's also the fact that motor vehicle drivers aren't used to sharing the road. Driver education is key.

"Bicycle helmets mainly increase unjustified bike fears.... government needs to tackle the cause of cycling accidents.
....
Policymakers and interest groups... do not invest in cycling infrastructure or limit the space cars get in traffic. Instead, they do “awareness” work and hand out helmets.'"
