Just 33% of UK cyclists are women, whereas 56% of Dutch cyclists are female. Why?

Dutch cities benefit all types of journeys: trips to school, shops, friends, etc. They physically separate cycle lanes, discourage driving, and prioritize public transport.

"At the Nuremberg Trials, the doctors and nurses stood trial. And they hung..." gets a round of applause. I think it may be in with a shout of being the stupidest and most offensive one in the history of applause.
