For many people, that's the first time you can do anything at all. When I was growing up, my bike could get me absolutely nowhere - there wasn't even passable terrain on the side of the highway. You could maybe push and carry a bike for an hour then ride for another 20 minutes to get into town or to where other people lived.
- kuschku 11y agoThe issue is probably just infrastructure. "Germany builds another new bike highway in the European bike highway grid allowing anyone to bike from any point in the EU to any other point in the EU easily". "Average age for kids to get a bike goes down even more to below 3" Infrastructure and culture over here in Europe are very different – you can easily bike to another country and back, without ever having to worry about finding somewhere to bike. You can literally bike or walk anywhere. A lot of that obviously because walking and biking infrastructure in Europe has existed for millenia on these scales.
