8 January 2017 - The other day I posted an article on how much time cyclists lose at traffic lights in Amsterdam. Someone asked if I can calculate what percentage of total time lost by cyclists is caused by traffic lights. Keep in mind that delays can be caused by traffic lights, but also by crossings without traffic lights, crowded routes and road surface.
25 September 2014 - The other day I posted something about cycling against traffic which, it has been claimed, is allowed on 85% of oneway streets in Brussels.

23 September 2014 - [Update here] - The Italian cities Milan, Bologna and Turin would like to allow cyclists to ride against traffic on some oneway streets.

For example, Brussels allows cycling contromano on 85% of oneway streets, they argue.
