I think it's called Amsterdam ;-)
More seriously, I went there recently and it's amazing how natural cycling is, everyone uses a bike, there are trams, and cars are clearly second-rate citizens in most of the city. An additional side effect of that is that everyone seems to be fit and healthy…
- nsgi 9y agoUnfortunately the cycle lanes in Amsterdam are also used by scooters which often illegally go much faster than bikes and emit more carbon monoxide than cars.
- eggie5 9y agoYes they are very smelly
- akvadrako 9y agoThey will likely be pushed off the lanes within a couple years.
- mcv 9y agoThere's a bizarre exception for two-stroke engines in our emission regulations. I don't understand why. Electric scooters and e-bikes are a perfectly valid alternative, if clean 2-stroke engines aren't possible.
