In Nantes, France, bikes get a dual carriageway for themselves. Buses and cars fight for the crumbs. As a result, EVERYONE cycles.

On a 2nd French train today. Small train. 3 carriages. Each carriage has space for 6 bicycles. That's 18 bicycle spaces. All full. So many cyclists. Inspiring.

I use my bike for weekend camping trips along the Royal Canal in the summer. Love how a tent fits snug between 2 panniers. #BikeItLikeBrigid
