As a Dutchman living in Stockholm I can tell you one thing: they should fix their goddamn bike lanes. Sure, they
have them, which makes them better than 90% of the rest of the world. They're still shit. There's no separation of car- and bike traffic. To turn left a cyclist first has to cross parallel car traffic, making this unsafer for cyclists (and annoying for the people in cars, for that matter). Key issues:
- the cyclist and driver should meet at a (near) 90 degree angle, so neither requires eyes in the back of their head
- separate the goddamn lanes so neither car nor cyclist feels uncomfortably close to the other
- don't require extra space because every square meter counts in a big city
Well guess what, we've figured this out decades ago in the Netherlands:
