It is not just the bike lanes, but also the gradual downsizing of roads to smaller roads. If you bike through the cities here, you will never have to drive along a highway for example. At least not within a few feet. (Secondary road). This gets the speed out of traffic, also prevents cars driving into stores at crossroads for example. This doesn't happen very much here, once every few years and it is big news.
