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.

@dariohudon 太有意义，也太震撼了！我一直把荷兰和德国比较，狂赞荷兰的自行车道修得宽大漂亮，德国骑自行车的几乎没有车道，基本被汽车占领了，想不到荷兰还有这段抗议的历史、果然不论在任何国家，不管任何政权 都不会主动让利于人民，不管多么微小- 所有的权利都是人们一点点抗争出来的
