Not all European cities have bike lanes as good as im the Netherlands.
Zagreb, for example, has narrow bits of sidewalks painted to be "bike lanes" with street lamps and signs usually planted in the middle, lanes just stopping, etc.
Making a city more bike friendly for real (and not just checking off items on a politician todo list) is a long and painful process.
It'll happen, but right now it's easier to get stuck in traffic in a car than have to wade through the same traffic on a bike.
- berkes 4y agoBut Zagreb quite certainly does not have laws that prohibit living where offices and shops are. Or disallow offices and shops where people live. Yet this is what happens in the US. You can probably grab a tram, metro or bus to work. OFC leftovers from "city planning" under Tito/socialism means there's more distinction between "living" and "commercial" areas than most of Western Europe. But its quite certainly nowhere near as bad as the suburbanism in the US. Which was my point.
