More people riding bikes makes cycling safer for everyone, major new study finds
Come to Amsterdam to see first hand proof of this study. Virtually no one wears helmets... because you don&#x27;t have to. Infrastructure is designed to be bikers first. Drivers are constantly aware of bikes and also receive training to avoid the most common accidents (hitting a biker when opening the door - see the Dutch Reach).<p>The biggest threat to a biker in this city is another (often less experienced) biker, pedestrians not looking around or trying to cross tram tracks parallel. However, it did take almost 40 years to get here though, changes starting in the 1970s - I do hope many cities will follow a similar route.
