Like biebkriebels said, this looks very familiair to the signs we have for mainly cyclists in the countryside and in woods. Nice to see it in Canada too. :-)
@Marleen: I expect this one to be rather unique in this part of North America. There's a place in Michigan where it wouldn't surprise me if they have such signs.
@Parsnip: so do I.
@Cheryl: well, one could theoretically have a stationary bike on a plane, and therefore actually bike the entire way across!
@Jack: I do like it.
@Gill: this at least is nice to get one's bearings, and a reminder that the Canal winds for a greater distance than the direct route downtown. Parliament Hill and the Market are rather close together.
And how convenient...you can stop at ByWard Market for provisions on the way! ;-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting. And the kilometers are signed too!
ReplyDeleteCivilized bicycling
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu,

=^..^=
Indeed, it is curious.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Interesting km-informations.
ReplyDeleteHugs
In fact this is a dutch sign I suppose. We have them all over foot and cycling paths in the woods here and call them mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a small world after all. :-)

ReplyDeleteA good idea, it would be quickly vandalized here...
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! A nice tribute to the Netherlands who donated so many tulip bulbs!
ReplyDeleteLooks very European... off to the Netherlands (metaphorically)!

cute!
ReplyDeleteAlways helpful to know how to get there!
ReplyDeleteDirections are often challenges for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to read Marianne's comments William :)
ReplyDeleteWe all need direction from time to time.
ReplyDeleteSo cool.
ReplyDeleteThe direction to the Netherlands is surely an important information here... :)
ReplyDeleteThese signs are cool. Sometimes you see a sign post with many world locations and their distances.
ReplyDelete@Kay: plenty of provisions there.
ReplyDelete@Peitro and Cynthia: we've been under the metric system for decades. It makes much more sense to me.
@Cloudia: and biking that path would definitely be the scenic way to go.
@Tomas: there's a good reason for it.
@Orvokki: thanks!
@Marianne: that's correct! It was given by the Dutch ambassador.
@Revrunner: that it is.
@Jan: given the close ties between our countries, it was a fitting gift from the Dutch.
@VP: it has been there since 2009 now, and still looks in top shape.
@Jennifer: and the Dutch still send many tulips each year.
@Janis: I would love to go someday myself.
ReplyDelete@Tex: I do think so!
@Norma: that it is.
@Birdman: not with me, strangely.
@Grace: I'd assumed these were common in Europe, particularly the Netherlands.
@Judy: we do!
@Linda: I like it.
@Karl: it does involve quite a bit of air travel, of course.
@Red: this is as close to one as I can think of here.
Yes, I'd like to visit the lake in spring. So I go left, is that right?
ReplyDeleteTrue, we see sign posts like this everywhere here! Funny to see you have them as well :)
ReplyDeleteI love when you see a faraway places on a sign post.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Perfectly understandable! You might be biking to the Netherlands one day! Who knows?
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cute.
ReplyDeletewell I guess some people need directions regardless.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the Netherlands bit, a bit of a hike though...
ReplyDeleteLove the humor.
ReplyDeletealways glad to see folks have such fun senses of humors. very cool!! ( :
ReplyDeleteYou can't miss that.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a sign like this before. Love it!
ReplyDelete@Eve: correct!

@Geoff: or a swim!
@Mari: thanks!
@Beth: thank you.
@Randy: You really can't.
@Denise: it seems quirky to our eyes.
Is it a nice market?
ReplyDeleteIt is, most of the time.
DeleteHa! Wonder why they included the distance to the Netherlands!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good addition.
DeleteLove it and I love your banner photo with all the tulips in bloom. Wow! I would love to see that.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
