I'm pottering round Amsterdam for a couple of days. Tram system easy cheap and excellent. Not much traffic. Thousands of bikes.
It's time we stopped having the attitude that every move towards reducing traffic is an assault on our freedoms. This is a city which is vastly more pleasant to get around and to generally be in than most UK cities. The people are fitter and healthier. They cycle everywhere and aren't breathing smog or suffering the stress of endless jams.
Time for big steps forward. Won't happen though....
Walking cities and the UK attitude to transport on 11:16 - Mar 19 by Benters
I’d say from experience Amsterdam is far more chilled out place than London.In the words from old Alan Partridge London is a Sh1thole.

London tends to be what you make of it and a reflection of yourself.
You can find almost anything you want in London.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
