>>1951257>there are like 6 guys riding bicyclesin one of the busiest shopping streets of amsterdam, during an oil crisis. bicycles were disappearing from the streetscape back then, and there were no more than in any other european country
>The fact of the matter is that there was a pre-established bicycle cultureyes there was all over europe and in america before the invention of the car. the netherlands was no different from britain or germany in that regard
>I fucking hate the Dutch bicyclethere is no such thing, this old design was the standard non-racing bike since the invention of the safety bicycle, used from britain to china. dutch people use all kinds of bikes, you'll see plenty of van moofs, cargo bikes, racing bikes, hybrids etc.
>Dutch cycling culture hates the idea that a bicycle might be able to go faster than 10 km/hnobody gives a shit how fast you go, about half the natives have switched to ebikes at this point
