my dad toured Europe on a bike when he was a teenager
We were in Amsterdam and a few other European cities last year.
Bikes are more common there than in the US, but the number of them in Amsterdam was astounding. Hundred and hundreds of them, stuffed and jammed into bike racks everywhere.
And they get upset if you get in their way. If you hear a bike bell jingling, look around and get the hell out of the way.

Sadly, those days are gone.
Yes, they still make exquisite bikes all across Europe; mostly upmarket.
60% of the world’s bikes are made in China, over 80% from around Asia.
Guessing, that most of the E-bikes are Chinese components, may be assembled in Europe?
So most of the bikes sold in this campaign will be from the home of the wu-flu, that started all this crap.
When I have to commute, it’s going to be on the outside of a ferry and then ride my bike to the office. They serve beer on the ferry, so it’s very healthy.
Get ready for a lot of injuries due to falls off bicycles and bike riders hurt by motor vehicles and those trolleys so in favor of Democrat city mayors. No matter how many bike lanes are created there will be a time when a bike rider encounters other traffic. Also, a lot of bikers blow through stop signs, lights or change directions without looking. Some even watch videos on their cell phones.
