Interesting article, with data, about how much the Dutch actually ride
their bikes.

Turns out they average, oh, maybe a mile or two per day.

That works for them because their cities are so dense that many
destinations are less than a mile away. That comes from having cities
that were founded in medieval times. When things are more than a couple
miles away, they tend to leave the bike and use other modes.

So we can get Dutch bike mode shares if we start work on our cities
early enough. Like, back in 1400 AD or so.

Impossible making any American city like Amsterdam or Copenhagen. American is the last nation ride bike as commuter unless the nation completely destroyed itself and born again..

I agree. But there are plenty of starry-eyed dreamers who say "If only
we build enough protected bike lanes..."
