We don't NEED to be poor and primitive to have a successful utility cycling culture, and if ANYTHING, the example of poorer economic societies making cycling work should demonstrate that we can not only "do it, too", but do it BETTER.
Given that neither Daniel4's post nor anybody else's provided any evidence of a "successful utility cycling culture" in African villages but rather bemoaned the introduction of automobiles to some African villages, my question for him is still relevant and on topic: What do primitive African villages have to do with advocacy much less a glimpse of the future for anyone who reads this forum. It is neither here nor there whether anyone else questioned the logic in Daniel4's post or its lack of relevance to the thread topic, or that someone else thinks videos of NL cycling are a relevant answer to my question based on Daniel4's African village post.
