What do they do when it rains or snows?
Looks great, sounds nice.
Especially as in the video on a lovely spring day.
Please note, Holland and Denmark are both as flat as a pancake.
You do not want everybody having to do this in Pittsburgh or any other vertically challenging area.
Gee, I wonder what it looks like:
1) In the rain,
2) During the winter,
3) In the dark,
3.1) During Katrina,
4) With kids on their way to soccer practice, or
5) After your colonoscopy?
If you are American, there could be a bicycle in your future. Chinese use motorbikes and cars now.
Unlike their American counter parts, it looks like these people actually obey traffic rules.
Notice no fatsos? In the summer it’s fun to watch the Dutch women ride by. The cycling gives them great legs!
Small stuff.
Now, in China, that’s a bicycle rush hour. Or used to be.
Lazy ba_tards, why don’t they walk. Been there. It is flat as a cow-pie and people live near work. I went to a meeting in Utrecht courtesy of Dutch Health to advise them on how to assess some of their severely contaminated sites. I was instructed to keep track of all expenses and retain receipts. It took almost 10 months to get reimbursed after having to send receipt copies no less than 3 times—never have I witnessed such incompetence. They typify the lazy liberal/progressive.
The way it’s speeded up it definitely needs the Benny Hill soundtrack and a few scantily dressed bike chicks thrown in for good measure.
For the serfs. The elites drive like normal people.
The most popular vehicles seemed to be busses and Sprinters like mine.
I worked for 15 years for an international company, and our Dutch workers were at the very top.
They put in 8 hours per day, and hurried to the bus or train to get home.
The English put in 5 hours per day, between coffee, pub lunch and tea. On a good day. All the time compalining about the stupid (American) head office.

A cool video spotted by Buzzfeed shows a city in the
Netherlands that has made bikes a transit priority.

As long as they don’t need a $20 million grant from the federal guvmint.
That’s what has happened here in Columbia, MO with “Get About Columbia”.
With this waste of taxpayer dollars, these zealots have set back the
cause of bicycling in Columbia, MO a generation or two.
No helmets, either. Ha!
