Incidentally I found this web page, being here for a year now I don't see in the pictures much special things, but judging by the comments of the author the US mayority of this forum will probably like to watch a bit how is the bike culture here. Everyone is a commuter to a certaing degree hehe.

By the way, f*** unconfortable commute today, it started to hail and I got some hits in the eye (and I wear glasses). I'm considering buying a helmet with visor just to cover that entry angle when it rains (or worse, when it's solid).

This guy must not know much about bikes in the first place. His comment about the folding bikes are hilarious.
"There was one particular type of bicycle I'm not sure I understood why it was so popular, but really stood out as a trend. These bicycles have smaller wheels than a typical bicycle, and a taller seat to compensate. Below is a picture of one of them to show you what I mean."
then
"And another, you see what I mean? What are the advantages of this design? Also notice there only seems to be one bar reaching from the pedals/seat area forward to the handlebar and front wheel (instead of a traditional triangle of at least two bars). That seems very specific to all these bicycles, I wonder if it helps the bicycle fit somewhere or fold up better?"

I loved being around such a bike culture when i was in holland, and i especially liked how the bike paths were often separated from the vehicular traffic, and many roads had only tram, bikes, and peds in amsterdam, beautiful.

I had fun biking around in the Netherlands when I was there a couple of months ago, I even got to try riding sidesaddle on a rear rack. I missed hills though.

Yeah the comments on the folding bikes are way off, quite funny! Terrible armchair reasoning.
