This video is a sure-fire way to further rile up the moaning car-centric inhabitants of Wellington, especially Island Bay. Not sure why they’d be reading this site though. Actually, probably most city dwellers in NZ or Australia, or the USA, or… anywhere except Amsterdam, where they haven’t always been the bicycle capital of the world.

No, those laid-back weed-smoking sexually-liberated style denizens weren’t always cruising around on their uprights and Bakfiets, texting and still managing to not run each other over. Imagine streets full of mellow stoned people drinking coffee and not racing to get to the next traffic light first. Now that would be a liveable city.
