Oh, Gosh, that map just reminds me how much I love Stockholm. What did the
Swedes do to deserve such a ridiculously nice capital city?
On that topic, what's the rules about taking bikes on all the passenger
ferries which ply Stockholm harbour? If it's easy to take a bike on?

No, not really; and more to the point, I don't see any purpose in
segregating cyclists from motor traffic. It only make motorists think that
cyclists 'shouldn't be' on the roads, and are therefore fair game.
