  • I’m dutch and grew up in the Netherlands, they’re so ubiquitous here you learn at a young age and so many people are cycling it is easy to learn from looking at what others do and still we have kids do an exam in the last year before high school, they have to learn the rules and cycle a certain route while people in plain clothes check if you know them.

    On the other hand, that is necessary because kids would otherwise learn the rules way later when trying to get their drivers license. I can imagine someone who knows the rules for cars would feel belittled by having to be educated on something ‘inferior’ after they already got their drivers license.

    But I wonder, do people not follow the rules because they don’t know them (= they need to be educated) or because they don’t like them (= the rules need to be enforced)?









  • When scrolled past this post i assumed it was news about some gay party somewhere, then I noticed the women aren’t dressed for that, than i noticed the headline was about something nazi happening at the party and only then i realised the gay part was only in my head because of the shirtless dude doing the nazi salute the headline is talking about. How is it possible all these right wing conservative people are so against anything gay but then decide to look like that and how are all of their likeminded people so ok with it? If i showed up to a pride somewhere they’d beat me up for it. So strange.
