Thanks for reading this. Today is day 6 of the trip and the first chance I have had time to write. I am on the train between Barcelona and Zaragoza. It’s a fast train so I better write fast.
Koos Kroon is a Dutchman that owns Bike Tech, a shop in Barcelona and distributor of Bromptons in Spain. He thinks that Barcelona has the potential to be the greatest cycling city in Europe. I agree with him. 90% of the city is relatively flat with diverse land use and extremely compact neighborhoods. The climate is much drier and warmer than Amsterdam. With the right infrastructure the bike would be faster and more convenient than either car or public transport for most trips within the city.
