PS: You can drive on pedestrian roads if there are no bycicle roads. In a quiet place like Viljandi this should work well :)ANTIBLOGI RSK!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01923112223726945582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-17010375367725721022012-06-26T03:46:32.048+02:002012-06-26T03:46:32.048+02:00Maybe once they invent a centre console for bycicl...Maybe once they invent a centre console for bycicles where the rider can casually slump to one side while talking on their mobile phone with their other hand draped over the handle bar while they ride, will bikes in Estonia catch on.

Every time I hear about a drunken bicyclist that was hit by a car I admire the nation's dedication to the sport ... think about it, as if biking is not challenging enough when done sober. Talk about spirited bicycling!
