While this helps against flooding, I guess it's not a lot of fun to bike there.
If you’re not zooming by at 30 km/h, this should be no more than a little bumpy. I guess that’s intended, since this looks like sidewalk/plaza, where you’d expect lots of pedestrians.
I think this is in the Netherlands and the pink asphalt on the right is a bike path.
So maybe to prevent people from cutting across the sidewalk from the bike path? No idea.
Edit: A bike parking is just visible at the top of the picture, so Netherlands intensifies.
This is correct. In the left there is also a smooth strip wide enough for use by wheelchair or similar.
Ah! I see. That makes sense.
And being childless, I don't mind the possible hindrance for strollers either. :)
The sidewalk more on the left doesn't have the holes. So I think bikes were taking shortcuts across the sidewalk and this was the councils way of fixing that. People can walk on the left without bikes going on the sidewalk.
