Cheers for that, even though it was made 20 years ago.
And a lot of it was filmed in The Netherlands where bikes never really
went away.
I also note that nose to tail traffic was still at the levels it is
today :-)

Also China, UK and USA. Check out the off-the-cuff remark at 357

In the USA, perhaps. In the UK (and China?) it is worse and in the
Netherlands it is a bit better, as they were only 20-ish years into
their re-allocation of space towards cycling when the film was made.
