They're pretty interesting alright... as if I needed another distraction from studying!

What's mad is the low percentage of cyclists, I mean, surely you'd go mad sitting in 2 hours of traffic each way everyday! Crazy! I have a friend that lives in Brussels and I remember visiting him last summer. He let me use his second bike when we were going somewhere on the first day.. having been used to cycling around Dublin I wasn't worried initially, but it was mental out there! Dublin has it's flaws, but it's becoming a much more cycle friendly city

Very interesting... And I can't understand how completely different is Brussels from any city in Holland.
You can only clear the roads by introducing high parking fees, congestion charges, increasing tax in fuels, etc. And, as it was said, by promoting cycling by well known people.

Good video, cheers for linking it.

Now to dream of the day when DCC introduce a congestion charge, €25ph parking & per km/time charges for all areas bounded by the Grand & Royal canals....
