copy pasted one on one, very interesting. I have seen these guys in my city (the first shot is). With all respect, when a group of americans visit you will notice ;)
More than ever, American cities are casting their gazes across the
Atlantic for fresh ideas and inspiration when it comes to making
bicycling safer, more convenient and more practical for everyday short
trips. No place in the world has more experience with bicycle
transportation than the Netherlands, where more than a quarter of every
trip made is on two wheels. But bicycling isn't ingrained in Dutch DNA.
The Netherlands became a global leader because of very deliberate
choices made by city leaders and traffic planners that made bicycle
transportation a real priority, backed up with supportive policy,
funding and state-of-the-art design. A delegation of city officials from
Chicago, Washington DC and Miami visited Holland in search of great
ideas to bring home.
