It's fascinating that Netherlands made a deliberate, pragmatic step to take their streets back from cars in the 60's and 70's. I had assumed that they had simply never lost their love of the bike. But no, the positive situation they have today was developed as the result of conscious political action against the scourge of cars and traffic.
