Where bicycles rule.
Friday, September 30th, 2011
Here in the US, as in many parts of the world, the automobile rules the road. In most European cities, mass transit is the way to go, to avoid snarling car traffic. In Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the bicycle far outnumbers the car and the city is built for bikes rather than cars. Mothers with children ride one bike; businessmen cycle to work with briefcases in tow. And if you are a pedestrian, you’d better watch out — the bicyclers won’t hesitate to mow you down.
