During the 70s when I think Saudi Arabia or Iraq stopped selling oil the Dutch government encouraged it's citizens to ride bikes or use public transit during the oil shortage.

In America the government had Americans with even numbers on the last digit of their license plate to drive on some days and odds on others.

Flatness

Bikes are cheaper and you can practically find them in every canal for free.

This, and the traveling distances are either small enough to cycle to or else covered by public transport. It's also very cheap and healthy. I do own a car though, most people do, unless they live in a city center.

>>52434082
You can fuck womyn for 20 bucks but you can't buy cars ?

>>52434026
>TFW i love to ride a bike but very few people do that im my city even during summer and i feel stupid for being only person to do that
feels bad

>>52434026
I wouldn't drive a car in Amsterdam either, it's probably horrible and you have no chance of getting a parking spot.

>>52434026
Cheap, healthy, flat country, densely populated, everything is just a few kilometers away most of the time, lots of infrastructure, and old city centres are the bane of every car owner.

Adults on bikes get weird looks here, at best

I wish I had a bike for sporting purposes

>>52436716
In places like LA just being a pedestrian gets you weird looks, right?

>>52436831
People in USA take buses or the metro/metro equivalent everywhere.

>>52434026
What's to stop someone from taking your bike?

>>52436831
Never been to LA but here in the midwest, yeah.

>>52436885
A bike lock?

>>52436885
Very little, I think they get their bike stolen like once a year at least on average.

>>52436264
Well you're lucky, I only had the thought of gravel for dinner. And my nan hit me with a plank and nail for dessert.
Back to the coalmine for me..

>>52437017
What mine? You dig 1 meter down and you hit water in your country.
