War on Motor Vehicles

All those bikes and ingrained in the culture, so why aren't there more bike racks? I found that very curious.

There are (the first was by the train station, the 2nd in a town center):

Yes, my partner mentioned this wonderful cycling ease when he went to Utrecht and Houten in the Netherlands.

However if you want to go faster as a cyclist on the car road, if there is bike path, the motorists get annoyed with you...this is from a Dutch cyclist who visited us in her 'round the world trip on bike.
When we were in Germany, Copenhagen, if there was no facility to lock up bike(s), people just lock them up ...somewhere. In some cases, the bike was standing by itself with its lock on the wheel. They do have theft there, for certain types of bikes, I guess.

Bike theft is a huge problem there.
