the "eight to 80" population, as they like to say in Bogota, the Netherlands.
oh, did everyone read in this weeks' Economist magazine? Ridership in Buenos Aires, Holland,
quintipuled after that city put in a separated cycletrack network.
Let me check my geography though, i'm not sure either of those cities are actually in Holland.

Bek makes clear, through both his rolling laughter icon and his tone, that he believes, or that he chooses to insinuate, that I have been discussing the Dutch attitude to their traffic system. Neither I nor most of the recent contributors have been doing so; the discussion has concentrated on situations in the USA.
