    We want the opposite of “protection laws” in roads. We want separate paths so we never have to share a road with cars. Just give up one of your fucking lanes and you won’t ever see a bike in yours again, I swear.

        While that’s cool, I’ll rather stay in my home country and try to change things here, I’ve already lived close to the Netherlands for some years but ended up going back to my country.

        Not even that, it’s just propaganda in media and car drivers being afraid of change.

          This is exactly the attitude I’m referring to

          No, it’s the cyclists that feel that only some of the laws apply to them

          Let’s not get all impressed with ourselves again…

            There are both car drivers and cyclists who feel like some laws only apply to them, the difference being that cyclists don’t kill anyone and car drivers do.

            As I said to another guy, give us one of your lanes and put a concrete barrier between it and the road, and you won’t share road with a cyclist ever again.
