Amazing loating Cycle Roundabout

For many Dutch people, their preferred mode of transportation is the bicycle. According to one estimate, every single day 14 million bicycle trips are made in Holland! Not surprisingly the country is well equipped with bicycle paths; bicycle traffic and safety is taken very seriously in the planning of infrastructure.

Hovenring — A Suspended Bicycle Roundabout

A magnificent example is the The Hovenring, a suspended bicycle path roundabout on the border between Eindhoven and Veldhoven. It is the first suspended bicycle roundabout in the world and was opened up for the public in June 2012 allowing bicycles to travel safely above the highly trafficked streets crossing below. Designed by ipv Delft, the bridge comprises a 70-metre high pylon, 24 steel cables and a circular bridge deck and is made out of circa 1.000 tons of steel.

  1. Each of us knows that because of much practice and hard work, nearly anything has
    always been possible. Those who would like to preserve their voices have to keep themselves healthy and strong.
    Throat irritation for instance may interfere with the production of the best sound from
    their vocal cords.

    Look at my web blog; how to sing
