Ride their bikes? Are you kidding? People drive to get accross the shopping center — like from Pier 1 to Barnes & Noble accross the way.

Yes, in Holland people ride their bikes. The city is small and you can get accross town in no time. The Dutch also live in apartments, not houses.

It’s too bad because San Diego would be a great bike city only if the urban planning permitted it.

I hate to say it but I can’t imagine an American mother biking to go grocery shopping. How would she get all the giant packages home? If you travel overseas, you can always tell the American tourists by the giant drink bottles they carry with them.
