Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:
There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.
They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.
Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.
Insanity or stupidity?
the stations usually have underground guarded bike parking lots, but if you put a nice looking bike in a bad part of a city and dont put a chain on it, it’ll probably get stolen. And, of course, the drunk students throwing them in the canals.
This might sound bad, but its not actually that bad. if you just put a chain around it, nothing happens.
The traditional Dutch city bike typically has an internal lock that clamps the rear wheel, and they’re often made so that you can attach a long cable to the lock, to attach the bike to a fence or a tree.
yeah, but you can just roll it on its front wheel. That’s what the drunk students do, and also why it’s really handy to use a chain lock yeah
