2) Taxis slow and move around cyclists
3) Everyone stops at red lights

They've all got cars there now -that's why there's no spare oil about.

It's Copenhagen I reckon. Or maybe a small Dutch town like Arnhem or
Groningen.

well done to the two that correctly guessed Switzerland. It was the law
abinding and free travel that gave it away wasn't it?

Now tell me why it would be foolish to move there :-)

It's too industrial and it's very expensive. Also, it's not a typical Swiss
city, more like an industrial French one. The old town isn't bad though.

Can't be, one loon on a bike was trying to cross the flow out of the
city at the Thomas Lewis Way/Stoneham Way/Burgess Road junction tonight,
a bloke on a racer behind seemed to be track-standing, but the nutter
couldn't wait, couldn't hear very well either with BIG headphones on as
well....
