I am not sure but I think no other place in world competes with it as much?
Well....
"Nine Million Bicycles" (in Beijing) by Katie Melua
While Amsterdam is one of its kind, I don't think I like the idea of bike as a replacement of public transport. Having a good infrastructure for bikes is one thing (and we are improving in that matter), but making bikes a PITA to all the other participants isn't something that I'd like to see in my city :-)
That's part of the world I still would like to see some day :)
Yea, it is understandable.
Here thigs are also improving, but not fast enough. It is still pretty dangerous to go places if one choses cycling as means for transportation.
