I find it quite distasteful and lacking perspective when hearing Dutch people say "cycling really isn't that great!" (although I know that's not really the point of this article). But still, don't ignore the horrific reality of really a lot of the world at this point: suburban america is just one isolated example. I know there's always some level of "the grass is always greener" but the Dutch emphasis on making cycling out to be not so really a big deal actually is a bit ridiculous frankly.
