Cycling

Ljubljana might not quite be Copenhagen where every corner would be stacked high with bikes but certainly bicycles are everywhere and there was an abundance of cycle lanes. It seems strange that such a mountainous country should enjoy cycling but I suppose it's the hills that attract the fanatics and, in any case, Ljubljana itself is quite flat. At Ljubljana castle yesterday during the short history animation we were told that the oldest wheel in the world was found buried in this city at about 5,000 years old and we were reminded again during the cycling championship opening ceremony. There's no mistaking this is a nation of cyclists.
