>>3632481I don't know what started the trend. But now it's like a reverse chicken and egg problem:
There's bike lanes and cycling infrastructure everywhere (traffic lights, racks everywhere, passages, racks on trains and tram, rentals, repair shops), while gas+parking is expensive af and you get a single car lane barely wider than the bike lane in central amsterdam, so more people end up using bikes.
And because of that even more cycling infrastructure pops up, etc etc.
>it hurts my ass.So does anal :D XDD
Seriously though, the seat and riding position you get used to. What you don't get used to is the fucking wind, that manages to blow against you both when going somewhere *and* when coming back, making a flat af country feel like the hills of fucking Afghanistan.
