Surprisingly enough, bicycle usage is just now edging ahead of car usage in Amsterdam, Bike Europe reports. I would have thought this happened years ago.

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – The bicycle is the means of transport used most often in Amsterdam. Between 2005 and 2007 people in the city used their bikes on average 0.87 times a day, compared to 0.84 for their cars. This is the first time that bicycle use exceeds car use.
