Dutch person here. I believe the driver is at fault, unless it can be proven that the cyclist had a serious part in the crash.

Having said that, there is significant effort made here to just reduce conflict points between modes of transport. No law can help you if you're dead.

Non-paywall link?

Yes this is true, but because of the separated infrastructure there are much fewer collision point between motorized and non motorized traffic. Basically all streets where cars can drive 50kmph (30mph) and up cyclist have a separate cycle path.

The separate cycling path is not a panacea - since car and cycle paths cross when there's a turn, or when a cyclist needs to cross to the other side.

Forced signup for Medium. Meh.

Medium is a lot better if you block all JS on the site. I do that with umatrix.

For some reason I can read it w/o signing up?

There's a quota, if you read a few more it will start prompting you

Opening in an incognito window works though

If you saw many seniors with slow typing speed, wouldn't that be a sign that typing speeds doesn't mater that much?

Not many, but when I did, I've considered it as something I'd try to find out - why. The benefits are obvious, learning process is rather easy so reluctance to do it would at least intrigue me.

The original Dutch article is a few months older even. This article is great journalism.

I dislike ads and ad platforms as much as the next person.

But this isn't good journalism.

"Is online advertising working? We simply don’t know"

In study 5 (e-commerce) the answer was clear, and yet ignored.

Is there a bubble? Yes. Are ads magic? No. Do they work? For the right products, yes. Extremely well.

Interesting. The shape of Amsterdam is super weird though. I wonder how the outline was made.

Any good books or films on this topic?

What is wrong with that?

In Holland, it seems like a lot of effort is put into wheelchair access. At least for newer buildings (Post WW2) and public transportation. But I'm not physically disabled, so haven't actually experienced it fully.

I was surprised that in NYC not all stations and platform have wheelchair access.
