Gah, no picture of the sexily dressed female butler.

"Cycling is safer than driving, even when you're not factoring in the health benefits."

Hmmm. I wouldn't put money on that. Cyclists get bowled over by cars all the time here in NZ.

I suspect that it comes down to, as I said, infrastructure.

Looked like even a couple of motorcycles with no helmets.

Very strange to see this, here in New Zealand approved helments are comulsory for bicycles and motorcycles alike.

I wonder what the accident rate is in the Netherlands where helmets would have been beneficial. Or perhaps the better bicycle infrastructure (looks like special roads) resolves that suitably.
