The cyclist vs motorist dynamic in NL is skewed because practically all motorists are cyclists too.
- linguistbreaker 8y agoI would say the dynamic is skewed in the US because so few motorists are cyclists. Just perspective.
- the-dude 8y agoYou are right, I was searching for words and couldn't find the right one.
- gowld 8y agoThere is no natural origin to be skewed from. It's relative. both statements are equally correct, and leave out the relative context.
- Symbiote 8y agoThe natural origin is a pedestrian, which is much, much more common in the Netherlands than most of the USA.
- gpvos 8y agoThe natural origin should be walking (except for motorways, some tunnels, etc., and I guess in most cases also outside city/village limits). But I read that in US suburbs, many streets are not even suitable for that, which boggles my mind.
- Tijdreiziger 8y agoI am not sure that's true. I (a Dutchman) know plenty of motorists who won't touch a bicycle.
- avocad 8y agoNo, but most of them used to ride a bicycle at some point in their lives, and know of the dangers that cars pose to them. Also Dutchman here.
