Oh, I thought it just opened. Oh well, I like the fact that the Dutch are so supportive of bicycling.


The other Dutch poster is incorrect that it almost collapsed ..lol...

It is just a few minutes from where I live :)


Yes it just opened in the summer
The roundabout was opened on June 29th, 2012 in an afternoon of festivities.

it is called Hovenring ... and sounds phonetically like "hovering" = to hover over
or a ring that levitates ...
funny coz we also have a UFO [the Evoluon, used for science expositions and business meetings] in Eindhoven.

Norway also has such a ring :
The Stavanger cycle ring with the exact same diameter (72 meters) as the Eindhoven ring.
