From the link:
So Munich, and other German cities, are seeing rapid growth in bicycle use from a reasonable level and are removing segregation in favor of bike lanes
while Denmark and The Netherlands are not seeing any increases at all while remaining dedicated to segregation
.
Could it be that they are close to maximum saturation? It is easier to pickup "market share" when you are at the bottom single digit percentage points than when you are at the top double digit percentages.
