Munich and Germany showed similar increases (albeit of slightly less magnitude) but I will let you do the googling.
Totally irrelevant to the topic at hand. Who gives a hoot what language your relatives speak? Love affairs with automobiles? So what?
So maybe you should not have said, and I quote:
The German cycling environment in no way resembles in any fashion
Where do you get the idea of German Bicycling Rebellion? Whoud this "rebellion" be similar to a bicycling club somewhere taking a political stand on an a bicycling issue that may be of little concern to most other bicyclists. You are are posting extravagant extrapolations from a tiny bit of information you have gathered from cherry picked blogs.
Calling the ADFC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club) a mere "bicycling club" is beyond silly. And if you cannot accept that their stance on segregated infrastructure and mandatory sidepath use is not representative of many cyclists in Germany then you are simply living in denial (which makes any kind of conversation very boring).
