We missed this on Friday, so here it is for your viewing pleasure – an answer to the Dutch cycling problem


Okay so obviously April 1 has passed, leaving us with some laughs, some groans, and one more day waking up and remembering that no, Donald Trump is not a hoax. However, here’s one that managed to escape most of us. We think it’s too good not to share.
