In NL the country is full with separate bycicle infrastructure, making it a paradise for cyclers.
"Cycling is a common mode of transport in the Netherlands, with 36% of the people listing the bicycle as their most frequent mode of transport on a typical day as opposed to the car by 45% and public transport by 11%."
"Some 35,000 km of cycle-track has been physically segregated from motor traffic, equal to a quarter of the country's entire 140,000 km road network."

- RankingMember 7y agoIf I recall correctly from my visit, the bike lanes actually get plowed after a snowstorm before the car lanes! I like those priorities.
- bvanderplaats 7y agoYou're not kidding. I took a 30 second jaunt with google maps and found this: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.9223839,4.4624592,3a,60y,117.32h,70.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szdn8J5SlRNmGE54BWei4mg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@51.9223839,4.4624592,3a,60y,117... Note how it is physically impossible for the cars to drive or park in the bike lanes. Very cool.
