Good idea to avoid accidents involving bicyclists and buses.

Here in Sweden it is Midsummer Day today. Which naturally means that Midsummer Eve was yesterday. In Sweden Midsummer Eve is traditionally celebrated in the countryside, and involves a lot of eating (new potatoes and pickled herring, traditionally) and drinking alcohol-containing beverages. Which, again, naturally means that a lot of people spend Midsummer Day with a hangover. (Or with a coppersmith, as we say in Finland.) Not us, though! Parts of Ensliga Bergens cykelklubb has spent a part of the day having a bicycle school, of sorts.

And today we also have a tip for Västtrafik - the company who runs public transport here in the region of Västra Götaland, Sweden. Or for anyone else who thinks that it's a good idea, for that matter. We saw this sticker on a bus in Stockholm. The text says "The hidden-angle! The bus driver can't see you here." A cautionary word for rush hour in the city. A really simple, yet brilliant idea!
