[โ] mcz@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 child) What's hilarious about it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] altphoto@lemmy.today 11 points 9 months ago (1 child) To an outsider like me. Its hilarious because you've never seen so many people trying to get somewhere on a bike. Specially when its winter and they get icicles on their face. But also when many are dressed like executives at some large corp while riding comfort bikes in the sitting up straight position. Here in the us people ride bikes to exercise and have absolutely no heading or reason other than that. In Mexico people side their bikes from work if their old or poor or both. They ride slowly for pleasure, just to not have to walk after a long day. Whistling, looking at women walking because women don't ride bikes, machismo. Its traditional. The bikes are old and are quickly becoming replaced by 2cycle mopeds, which women do ride a lot. Tons and tons of mopeds along with tons of moped accidents. So a bunch of people riding bikes, not wearing spandex or helmets, or wearing helmets and a suit, on special roads to get somewhere useful that's on the hilarious end of things. Because its weird and different. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] mcz@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 child) To me, an european but not Dutch it's uncommon to see so many people on bikes, but other than that it's perfectly ordinary. I'm just a bit jealous of the fact that there's no snow on their bike paths permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] altphoto@lemmy.today 0 points 9 months ago Or nails....bikes remove nails. permalink fedilink source parent
