The history of Dutch cycle paths is instructive:
The cycling infrastructure was only built after a huge number of deaths of cyclists, particularly children, caused wide public protest. It’d be nice if lots more people didn’t have to die for our cycling facilities to be improved.

Holy crap. Those were lucky people.

'This Is Not A Test' is a wonderful thing:
Indeed! I think the first 5 tracks of Vol 1 are great; after that, missable. Vol 2 is more consistent.
