I love the Netherlands, but cyclists there are absolutely crazy, and in incredible quantities.
Of course, it doesn't help that I'm blind on my left side and the only Dutch I know is "Sorry, ik sprek gein Nederlands".
- the-dude 11y ago> but cyclists there are absolutely crazy This is only because of the outsider perspective : everybody learns to ride a bicycle as a kid ( as early as 4-5 years ). Also children about 11-12 years old bike to their schools unattended, sometimes 15km each day. Parents would not allow this if it was 'absolutely crazy'.
