Here in Oslo, Norway they've also been ripping up roads to make bike lanes, make streets one-way to accommodate the bike lane and so on. And yeah, initially not a lot of bikers.

But it's been a few years, and in the meantime good e-bikes are affordable for most here now, so these days there's quite a lot of bike riders all over.

Of course when the snow and ice sets in there are fewer, though a fair few carry on with studded tires and good clothing.

It took some years but there's no denying there are significantly more people riding bikes to and from work, to and from kindergarten or similar.

Build it and they will come...
