LISTEN NOW! Greg, John and Pat discuss the amazing innovative transportation that is taking Europe by storm. The Netherlands are promoting healthy living and a more economical way to travel in the Netherlands by encouraging its citizens to ride bikes. They learned in the 70’s when there were gas shortages that they were too dependent on oil and made a decision not to be on oil again. Now nearly 32% of the population of the Netherlands commutes by bicycle. They continue to discuss what it would look like if the same percentage of Americans were to commute by bicycles. Although it would be healthier certain weather conditions in the United States would not make it possible.
