This isn't the most important dutch bicycle innovation
The netherlands has a bike lane system so extensive that you can cycle from one side of the country to the other on a bike only lane system, complete with bicycle only traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings etc
You can't have the Bicycle Bus without a commitment to developing extensive infrastructure which did not happen overnight
- violetgarden 6y agoThat is incredible! Where I live, the bike lane will exist for a mile or so, then suddenly disappear. I’m also jealous of the public transportation in a lot of places. I’d never drive a day in my life if I didn’t have to.
- jefurii 6y agoIt also helps that the Netherlands is very very flat. Those kids look like they're having a great time.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThis map shows how far ahead the Netherlands are even within Europe. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/bdvap6/cycling_lanes_in_europe_open_street_map/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/bdvap6/cycling_lan...
- kichimi 6y agoThis map doesn't even do it justice. As soon as you cross the border into Germany the easy ride stops, and the bar for what qualifies a bike lane drops significantly. The Netherlands is truely a marvel.
