Thursday, April 8, 2010 (Part 3):Bike paths and sidewalks are equally important throughout Europe. But I had considerable difficulty adjusting. I kept walking in the bike lanes and Katherine was constantly pulling me over to the sidewalk and out of the way of the cyclists! The cyclists have the right of way, and they have their own cross walks and lights at intersections. The terrain is so flat in much of Europe that Cycling is an easy transportation option. In contrast, the car traffic is frightful. It makes crossing the street on foot at busy intersections quite the challenge.
