We were impressed with the variety of European transporation options. Here are some shots of our favorite cars and bicycles.

This was our rental car, a Renault Clio. It was the perfect car for swerving around the roads of southern France.

The Italian School of Urban Car Design is a big believer in "less is more". Good for parking too!

This one even lost one of its rear wheels.

We were told that the advantage of the covered scooter was that no helmet was required of the rider.

Winner of the most peculiar transport prize went to this seven seater tricycle. Riders sit in a circle, and the rearmost steers.

We found this rather elegantly designed bike rack in Wiesbaden.

In Amsterdam, the capital of bicycles, we saw many examples of custom hand decoration.

The last day of the trip we took a ride in Amsterdam Bos Park. Lovely bike trails. Very flat.

As well as bike and walking paths in Amsterdam Bos, horses also have trails to themselves.
