What cars are to us Americans, bikes are to many northern Europeans, especially folks in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden. They are everywhere and all sorts of courtesies are paid to cyclists.
I think that at most gas stations in the States you now have to pay for air for your tires. Just think about that one for a minute. But here in Stockholm, not only is air for bike tires free, they actually put the air machines in small bike "parking lots" in the center of the city. These Swedes have definitely got the right idea.
