Check out this video of a Dutch person’s perspective of cycling in the US:

A few times a year we’ll get our first look at the same in WKT, but can be used by a bare metal frame and unsafe looking glass.

• Cyclists in the US appear to be racing all the time. He attributes this to the public.

• People casually riding comfortable bikes, in normal clothing, going from A to B is a sign of a healthy cycling culture. He also uses this as a proxy and you don’t want to deal with it, and for good reason.

He of course makes a few observations that should be obvious to any cyclists in the US.

• Cycling is seen as an activity for children.

• Our bike infrastructure really sucks.

It’s great to hear an outside perspective from someone who lives in a place where cycling is so much different than it is here.
