    They will go to Amsterdam and drive for a week, go back to US, and praise their driving infrastructure while blaming cyclist for making them drive slow.

    I genuinely understand why Jason from NJB said that controversial statement, carbrain is an indoctrination that cannot be cured by being nice, you have to really force a good infrastructure on them and make them taste it, like the bird eating cracker meme.

    Though i would argue a lot of bikelane is hastily made without any proper planning, making the result worst for both group.

      Don’t send them to NL, send them to Vietnam where driving a car as bikes weave around all sides of you is hellishly stressful, but bikes supply the experience cars promised but failed ti deliver, of being able to go wherever you like at a whim and free to park mere feet from mist businesses.

      It will also teach them to loath cars, since 1 can fuck up traffic for hundreds if bikes.
