T-Intersection in Zwaanshoek where traffic from the right has right of way

Nifty T-intersection Redesign Slows Down Traffic

November 29, 2022 Hansonthebike 0

Reading Time: 4 minutes I saw an interesting road modification on T-intersections in the Netherlands to slow traffic down. It looks simple to implement, there is no need for signs and it doesn’t appear to cost much.

What a 21 year old 2001 Powerbook G4 would cost in today’s dollars will shock you

Reading Time: 3 minutes The Apple Powerbook G4 was collecting dust in my basement. I thought I would look up what it would cost in today’s 2022 dollars: a lot of money. It was definitely a high priced item back in the day.

About this blog


Hans on the Bike writes about cycling in the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region in Canada. Stay up to date with cycling developments in this bike friendly city with hundreds of kilometres of pathways.

Hans on the Bike is not a very competitive cyclist; most of the time he is cycling around town doing errands or guiding tourists while waving to friends.

As a bicycle tour guide, he hears tons of great feed back from people from all over the world. Even from the Dutch! This is encouraging.

Ms. Hans on the Bike cycles too and is often the voluntold for Hans’ pictures. She famously declared she was not going to bike below +10C but lowered the treshold to -10C over time.
