I didn’t realize that the Dutch fought for their bike lanes. There’s a lot of history within this that I’m currently naive about but excited to learn!

Here’s the article I’m starting with — How the Dutch got Their Cycle Paths: https://www.pps.org/article/how-the-dutch-got-their-cycle-paths

'How the Dutch Got Their Cycle Paths'

The extensive cycling infrastructure of the Netherlands didn't happen by magic. It was the result of a lot of hard work, including massive street protests and very deliberate political decision-making.

Life on the road from a helmet camera. Sometimes interesting, sometimes scary, but almost always fun. I'm a driver too, I love cars, but I don't like dangerous driving and people taking risks with vulnerable road users. Someone has to stand up against the endemic road crime on our public highways and try to change it for the better. Thankfully I'm not alone - there are tens of thousands of us reporting road crime with video.
