If our Paper of Record did more to support biking in NYC, New Yorkers would ride more. Nothing uniquely Dutch about this phenomena.

We found the same thing in Davis, CA, which leads the U.S. in bicyclists and bike-commuters per capita.

It's the same everywhere, people don't generally bike because it's dangerous. Build bike infrastructure in the US and people will bike.
-
well, people don't bike because it's ***perceived*** to be dangerous. Problem in UK and Germany is lot of cycling infrastructure is shite
-
It's definitely dangerous, ride on some country roads and after a few trucks intentionally buzz you you'll want to quit. City is no better.
-
what country are you talking about?
-
I live in the US.

Did TransAm back in 2005 and 99pct of driving was absolutely fine. Talked to many RUSA riders on LEL, no issues either. just be assertive

In the NL if you build it they will ride, but that is because they have already built in the cultural layer. It is a must

Nope, wasn't true until relatively recently (1970's or so)

Johnny u r right. 1974 to be precise. First came priority change (pedestrians & cyclists first) + legistlation + culture then infrastructure

I did read that bicycle PARKING is a huge problem in Amsterdam.
-
Not really, it is always better than parking a car at 4 euros per hour.

Not just in the Netherlands! Build good quality cycle infra in any city or town and people will use it. The same happens with roads & cars.pic.twitter.com/RIC4ir2OGe
