From Amsterdam to London; exploring bicycle networks with This Big City blog

Over at This Big City blog author Joe Peach has been doing an amazing job of examining the role of bicycle networks in sustainable communities.  From the perfect density of the city of Amsterdam to the stalled attempts by our own fair London, his writing explores the good and bad of attempts to build cycling infrastructure and the benefits it can bring.
