European Small Vehicles
Hank Schrader, USMA '71, Europe Destination & Europe River Cruise Expert
We always find one of the most fascinating aspects of Europe is how well all seem to use the limited space in the cities and villages—it is amazing!
The one most interesting things to Anne and I, is how well small vehicles thrive in the densely packed cities.
For Anne especially, tiny is cute. but more than that, they are useful and not wasteful—efficient, compact and great to look at.
Don’t expect any real rhyme or reason or great organized method to this collection of pictures—they just caught our eye and we were fascinated seeing them used in the daily lives of Europeans.
So, let’s explore together and learn about these small vehicles—you won’t be disappointed!
