The Netherlands has some of the best bicycle infrastructure in the world, but some of it is completely invisible ... until you learn about ontvlechten. Dutch cities take care to separate or "disentangle" routes taken by drivers from those taken by everyone else, making their streets safer, quieter, and more efficient. These routes are determined by hoofdnetten (and plusnetten), where each form of traffic gets its own routes through the city.
