  • There recently was an article that discussed about what the Dutch could do. It came down to 3 suggestions:

    1. Building a dyke across the Waddeneilanden (killing off the entire waddensea but also protecting the rest of the land)
    2. Raising up the existing dykes and sacrificing cities and villages that are nearby the sea since the dikes really need to become much bigger.
    3. Giving up whole parts of the Netherlands, building floating cities and relying on higher parts of the country to expand and rebuild there.

    What it is going to become, I don’t know but it will be really interesting!







  • Low key loving it that people here automatically assume that a bike would mean you would go on trails and off road while here in the Netherlands we still are riding that old riggidy hunk of metal (a Omafiets) we got handed down form our sister 15 years ago. (Who also got it as a hand me down)

    There are nice bikes here with carbon fiber belts instead of metal chains but those get quickly stolen or used so much they wear down away in a few years because the bikes get beaten to bits by the weather and usage.
