Urban Planning with a Twist: Nifty Gadgets That Should Be in Every City

Some European cities are heavy with cyclists on the road. Because cycling is so common, certain cities have inevitably installed gadgets and features that help them navigate the city streets with ease. This city installed a large metal contraption that looks confusing at first glance. However, its use is pretty simple.  

The bench with the metal bar above it is for cyclists waiting at a red light. The whole point is for bike riders to rest their feet on the bottom bench part while resting their hands on the bar. Not every cyclist uses this, but it’s a nice feature to include as a way to be more inclusive.
