Cycling in Nijmegen in the Netherlands, around a roundabout and then into a guarded cycle park.

The music is "Amoreuse" played by the Royal Military Band in 1910. It is downloadable from here: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/hal/misc/78s/

Re the caption at 2.40: The American influence on city centre design after the war followed the city centre's redesign by American bombers during the war. :-o It was an accident.

@theberrysband Yes, it's true. American bombers, thinking they were over Germany, did accidentally destroy much of Nijmegen and killed 750 people in the process. It might be called "Collateral damage" these days.

It's not something that people dwell on any more than they dwell on what the ancestors of today's Germans did to the Dutch. We're all neighbours now.
