Cycling sucksHere's a nice tongue in cheek vid (below) from the Netherlands. What would cycling be like if it was like driving? that's the theme explored in this short which was created as a Dutch school project aimed at promoting bikes – a long way from the situation we're currently seeing in the UK where bikes are effectively banned at some schools...

According to a friend in The Netherlands:
"The policeman is saying something like: 'Well well sir, how fast were we driving?' And probably obvious, but the voice over does the traffic announcements."
