Around Black Isle

It’s reminiscent of these logos of rider unions https://dirkmjk.nl/en/101/logos-of-rider-unions

The cyclists’ organisation with the coolest logo is probably Marakli t’Biciklave

Interesting chart showing when the Giro was won. Not the ‘drama and suspense’ INRNG had hoped for: «In terms of the chart above you want to see highs and lows rather than flat lines.»

As you’d expect with this type of map, the width of the line segments represents traffic volume (1 mm = 6,000 daily passengers). Interestingly, colour represents traffic growth (or decline) between 1954 and 1965

The Nazis used brutal repression to crush the strikes. Some considered them a failure, but for Bouman they marked a turning point in the history of the Dutch resistance, giving the people a sense of what they were capable of.

On 29 April 1943, wildcat strikes broke out in the Netherlands to protest against the Nazi occupation. They started with a walkout at the Stork factory in Hengelo, and quickly spread across the country.

These strike density maps for 30 April and 1 and 2 May are from a report for the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (P.J. Bouman 1950, De april-mei-stakingen van 1943).

Note that it’s allowed to place your regular bicycle in a dedicated bike share rack.
