| Comment | 1. It rains in the Netherlands and in Denmark. People still ride in large numbers because the thing that allows them to is the infrastructure. https://youtu.be/WkgKYjrNLwg
2. We have hills yeah, but no one is proposing building our growing cycling network on those hills. If you look up Glasgow's plans, it's for routes along what are largely wide, flat roads connecting neighbourhoods. Like how it's been done in hundreds of other cities already which have some hills.
3. That's fine. You don't need to ever ride one. But some people do and are held back from going places by bike because they're terrified of being injured. The infrastructure allows people of any age and any confidence level to go wherever they want to by bike, *if they want to*. Currently they don't have that choice. |
