Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint

@BrentToderian A lot of activism is needed in order to get cycle paths. In NL are cycle paths everywhere. There is a network of cyclepaths all over the country. These paths have numbers. You only have to know which numbers you need if you want to go to a certain place by bike.
This did not come out of the blue, it is a tradition of years to grant cyclists space.
