Our guide to the five best women’s commuter bikes (Science and Tech, last week, New Review, page 20) labelled photographs of two of the bikes incorrectly. The yellow bike, wrongly numbered 3, was the Quella Evo and the bike numbered 4 was actually the Raleigh RXW Pro.
An article on Danish artists focusing on the darker side to the psyche (“Trolls, killers, watchers in the woods: Danes thrill to the enemies of hygge”, In Focus, last week, page 33) said that Denmark “goes from perpetual daylight in the summer to near 24-hour night at the winter solstice”. We should clarify that only Greenland, a self-governing country but part of the the Kingdom of Denmark, experiences such conditions. Copenhagen will enjoy seven hours of daylight at the winter solstice.
Transport corner: For the Record (13 November, page 40) was wrong to state that an article that compared San Francisco with Lisbon had been incorrect to say San Francisco had trams like Lisbon. In addition to its famous cable cars, San Francisco has the municipal railway (Muni) streetcar and tram service. And Lisbon has cable-hauled funicular services.
