We’ve had another busy day today looking at the cycling conditions in and around Assen: a bit of a mixed bag, from a woonerf (home zone, or residential area where all traffic including bikes has to move at walking pace) to an industrial estate, to a shopping centre, to a bit of a dash back to the town centre along a busy road lined with large stores and car dealerships – and not once have we felt stressed, harassed or endangered by cars, trucks or buses, despite a still-imperfect grasp of which way to look when crossing the street.
