The infrastructure for bikers in Holland is not always as brilliant as the writer is suggesting.
I'm living in Amsterdam and I would say that it's equally dangerous to bike here as it is in London:
Pretty 'random' bike paths such as the one on the picture near the author's house in Holland are virtually nonexistent here.
And although there are pretty clear traffic rules for right of way, many people don't obey them, so in practice you'd better use your eyes, ears and common sense otherwise you won't get very old.
- Udownvotemeudie 11y agoIt is not brilliant, but it is the best in the world, in my opinion. I am Dutch and have cycled in many countries, including UK, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium. Nothing beats Holland. It is also the collective mindset of the Dutch car drivers. They know they can expect a cyclist pop up any time from out of nowhere.
- rawTruthHurts 11y agoDefinitely. London is completely sub-standard, it doesn't stand any comparision with the German or Dutch cycling networks.
