How the Dutch got their bicycling paths

This video was shared with me today and I thought I'd pass it along.

The moderators may move it to A+S or Utility, but I think it's interesting to share here because it really is about commuters and everyday cycling and the process that it took to make it safe again.

Places like the Netherlands that I thought of as having an ancient and consistent cycling culture really had to fight to take back their infrastructure from the automobile and clearly that change takes a long time and lot of commitment. But if it can happen in one place maybe we can learn from it. Enjoy.
