In The Netherlands 30% of people commute daily on a bicycle. Compare that to .7% in New York. With so many people wheeling around on bikes in that country, by comparison it makes Portland/Minneapolis look like a monster-truck-friendly town. Of all the fantastic things I’ve seen come out of The Netherlands, this trash can for bikers has to be my favorite. Sure, some city worker probably has to walk behind it to collect all the empty beer bottles tossed by imbibers with bad aim who are enjoying a sip on the ride home, but you take the good with the bad.
