      Dutch bicycle lanes? And here I thought the US was car junkie hell.

        I mean… we have interstate travel and the US is massive. There are no real borders between states.

            Except for the similarities between both places having open borders… something explicitly mentioned in the post…

              This post isn’t about open borders, it’s about the contrast in bicycle and road infrastructure between the Netherlands and other countries. The open border was just the setup.

              The Netherlands has very specific urban/rural (re)design standards which are quite recognizable if you know them.

                  Well, yeah. There are guidelines for new infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean everything is up to date everywhere. There are roads that haven’t been resurfaced for quite a while that aren’t up to date. But on the whole it is very similar everywhere.

                  It’s only a small country though.

                  There is a Canadian YouTuber who lives in Amsterdam who makes videos about it: http://YouTube.com/notjustbikes I’ve lived here all my life so it’s nice to get an outside perspective on this all.

      The US probably has some rural bike paths, but I sure as shit haven’t seen any.
