A Legit Reason To Visit Amsterdam

Need an excuse to travel? Not really, but when you see the innovative effort Schiphol Airport (in Amsterdam) has put into the world's first airport park, you're going to think again about your travel route just to make sure you either transit via Schiphol or even make Amsterdam your final destination!

The park has an indoor as well as outdoor terrace for when the weather is fine. The indoor area of the park is designed to replicate the feeling of an outdoor space, with butterflies projected on to the walls and floors, and with sounds such as bicycle bells, animals and playing children filling the air. It includes ivy chairs for travelers to relax in, as well as a Park Café. You can also charge electronic devices such as laptops, and there is the option to charge mobile phones by pedaling one of the energy generating bicycles. Furthermore, to boost its eco-credentials, the airport uses LED lighting wherever possible, with natural light also entering the park through fiber optic cables and tube lighting.

This airport park takes pre-flight waiting to a whole new level...and you thought the ebook library at Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport was cool?

Cyclehoops: Clever Bike Rack Concept

Do you think it's better to park 10 bicycles instead of a single car? Well, the designers and architects that came up with Cyclehoop’s Car-Shaped Bike Racks definitely do!

If you're going to promote the use of bicycles over vehicles, then this is definitely the way to do it! Check out these brightly colored racks that come in silver, pink and green. The hoops stand turns any street pole into a bike rack, which in turn can save city councils time and money. They also bring awareness and recognition to the benefits of bike riding over driving.

Prefer to drive than bike in the heat of the summer? Fine, but only as long as you bike during the other seasons!
