So, cycling became popular in the Netherlands later. And the Netherlands also was busy building roads for cars only, especially post WWII.

And yet, "US is unique, everything about the US is unique, we are unique, and the wind blows because the trees move".

> Dutch people cycling was very high compared to other European nations.

And yet even other European nations have decent-to-great cycling infrastructure.

You really need to work on your reading comprehension, or at least put in more of an effort. My central point here isn’t that the US is unique. If anything, it’s the Netherlands that’s unique. But at the very least, they are two very different countries.

One thing the US and Netherlands have in common is that they are both democracies. The Dutch pivoted back to bicycle infrastructure because there was public demand for it. This is not true in the US.
