Cool site, thanks for sharing. The US (and I'm guessing Canada too) is the anti-thesis of what is shown on that site. Clearly cycling there is a way of life; there is minimal conflict between car and cyclist because seemingly everyone rides. That is Utopia as far as I'm concerned.

According to the Sierra Club, almost half of all car trips in the US are <3 miles, while more than a quarter of them are less than a mile.

Good find... Thanks.
When it comes to bicycle use, there are so many lessons to be learned from Amsterdam that they're too numerous to count.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but I sure do envy Amsterdam when it comes to bike culture.

I was in Amsterdam for a few days a couple of months back. I saw literally thousands of bikes, and I never saw a single racing-style bike. In fact, I didn't see a single bike with drop bars. It is a different bike-culture there for sure. I wish I had taken a picture outside the central train station. There were hundreds of bikes locked up outside. People there use bikes for utility and transportation, not as a piece of sporting equipment.

Thanks for the pic of Centraal Station. That is exactly what I was talking about. It looked very similar in 2009 as it did back then.
