True, but the normalization of cycling in a few select US cities is much more recent than the normalization of cycling across the northern European lowlands countries.
- jrockway 17y ago"Few select" Are there any major cities (say, the size of Oslo) where cycling isn't or wasn't always common?
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoMy understanding is that cycling became common when cities responded to the 1970s oil crises by dramatically increasing gas taxes (to reduce driving) and invested heavily in continuous cycling infrastructure.
