Amsterdam (the one in The Netherlands) is the world’s top cycling city with 60% of trips in the city centre made by bicycle. It wants to become the world’s centre of expertise on sustainable mobility - there's more in a report by Jack Oortwijn for Bike Europe.
Let's hope the UK learns some lessons from this. It could be soooo good here with just a few tweaks to the law. The first one could be an obligatory wide berth for cyclists as in France, where the law dictates a 1.5 metre space.
