We can be quite spoiled in the Netherlands with our wonderful bicycle infrastructure. But for most people around the world, taking your daily bike ride can range from being a hassle to life threatening!

Hilarious! The last one reminds me of one of those metal egg slicers my mum used to use 🙂 !!
There’s a lot of situations like #10 in The Netherlands though… Not to mention the scary “80km/h, biking between cars and trees”-roads. 🙁
Haha, I like no. 7 ^_^
So, I need a blowtorch and a saw in most of these cases…. I think I rather stay in Holland, outside the borders live no intelligence people!
Ha! No. 8 is from Liverpool 🙂
Wish I could attach pictures of our cycle lanes in Bangkok!
