    This appears to be the Netherlands in the 70s/80s, back when they were transitioning. With how skilled Dutch cyclists are they can probably ride within the line while blindfolded and carrying a full size couch on the back of the bike. Realistically though they’re riding down the middle of the street while not giving a fuck.

        When I was on there, every news article about a black criminal had the same handful of identical comments. “Another black male,” “The usual suspects,” etc.

        I started leaving those comments, too. Got banned for commenting “another white male” on the mugshot of a drunk driving cop lol

      My bet -

      1. Ordinance that all streets must have a minimum road width for motor vehicles.
      2. Attempt at reforming streets to make them more bicycle friendly mandates that this street must have a separate bike lane.
      3. City planners mark out where bike lanes should go by looking at a map.
      4. Supervisor dispatches workers to add bike lane.
      5. Workers arrive at street. It was built too narrow to accomodate street parking, motor vehicle travel, and bike lane, because it was built in the middle ages.

    That’s plenty wide for anyone who rides regularly. We commonly practice on curbs and logs for balance. The key is to not look towards the drop just look forward 10-15 meters and you’ll ride it fine.

    You’ll either learn how to balance and fall properly or you’ll be a little wet. Much better than learning on a cliff with rocks at the bottom.

          Yeah but it’s still possible to slip, either from accidentally taking a turn too sharp, from a wet surface or from debris on the road
