@notjustbikes yep, there's a reason I never go into comments of nu.nl, ad, bn de stem or anything other. It's too much ragebait and armchair professors for me.

Did they at least give credit? :)

@notjustbikes Jesus...no kidding these comments are something else.

I mean, the usual racist BS: (translated)"But if no asylum center comes, perhaps there will be some money left for our beautiful village." and of course normal boomer whining: (translated)"And all cargo bikes are only allowed to be used during school hours. And do not use it as a shopping cart." Isn't too much of a surprise.

But also, there's stuff like this: (translated)"How do they manage grocery shopping, going to work and school, going to the doctor, hospital, on vacation, and so on?".

Again, this comment is originally in Dutch. How is it possible for someone to speak Dutch and also question how one buys groceries without using a car?! Is this a Dutch person who grew up in the US and is for some reason reading a Dutch newspaper?! I don't think it is physically possible to live in the Netherlands and yet also be confused about how one gets groceries without a car.

Or maybe it's bots...who knows, these days that's almost more believable.

@notjustbikes I have to wonder…. Who would comment on such an article…

As in who has the time for such things, and knows the situation (c.q. lives in Houten)

My only conclusion is that Houten must be filled with complaining boomer knowitalls.

But maybe that’s just a skewed view due to reading comments……
