Making America into Amsterdam
Interesting article, with data, about how much the Dutch actually ride
their bikes. https://peopleforbikes.org/blog/best...h-hardly-bike/ 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. -- - Frank Krygowski |
