Some .4% of Americans do compared to some 30% in the Netherlands.

Something is missing, right?
Yeah, all the Americans have to do is level the Rockies and the
Appalachians to make America as bike-friendly as the Netherlands.

I don't think anyone blames the americans for using their cars if they
live miles from nowhere. But you don't need a gas guzzling 5.0 V8 SUV to
bring the groceries back from the shops. It does seem that some yanks
few profligate waste of resources as a human right and that is what ****es
off many people.

Yes, but many in this country drive their kids to school and do the
shopping in Chelsea tractors.
