Le vélo est le cheval du Vingtième siècle, Jean-Claude!

Thanks for visiting, Ritva!

So that's who he was. Good read, that was.

Thanks for that, who. However, I haven't uploaded this picture because of Willibrord. This is the kind of statue our mayor has in mind to erect in honour of not1word, to reward his efforts in revealing the origin of the name of Utrecht.

Looks too big. Something smaller, perhaps?

Well, I believe we've been provided with a photo of the Discoverer of the Origin of the Name of Utrecht on his mighty Steed, so they can get started on that Statue!

And Norrel - perhaps those are Offerings of velos to the great Willibrord.

Norrel, on November 2, said:

That's a good one, kamalyn! I'll ignore not1word's wish to make a smaller statue, and the Municipal Sculptor will start on the statue.

Now that you tell me about the offerings, I realize that I've acted very blasphemic in the past. I sometimes parked my bicycle here, and took it back again to go home. Poor Willibrord!
