I don't cycle myself (only the spinning class at the gym). In my city they're working on making the roads bike friendly. Which is a long work in progress. Many arguments of cyclists need to be kind to motorists and vice versa. Then there trails and the arguments there of pedestrians are not user friendly to cyclists and vice versa.

There aren't rules for cyclists to wear helmets. Heck there aren't helmet laws for motorcyclists either.

In Holland drivers are actually considered responsible in all accidents against weaker road users regardless of how irresponsible they are.

Wow, that is a bad law. It might work in Holland, but if they instituted that in England or America you'd get a four figure body count overnight, because of all the cyclists deliberately endangering themselves just because they could. As the most vulnerable party, the cyclist ought to have the most responsibility for looking after their own safety.

Why? It's not like it's fun to be in an accident. Cars have better insurance and the driver is the least hurt in general. Besides pedestrians are also protected under this.

In England and America, people are just that contrary enough that they wouldn't mind getting hurt or even killed as long as the other guy got the blame. To simply be able to have the moral highground is enough for them. Its the whole "fuck you, I'll do what I want and screw you" ethos of both countries.

That is a really strange opinion

I used to cycle all the time, and that comment implies to me that you were never a cyclist and that you have picked up some weird prejudices.

I'm from the central USA, by the way.

That's a terrible law. Around here, pedestrians will ignore red lights and just walk right across the street on the red. If they get hit, it's 100% their fault for breaking the law and in fact the police will give the pedestrian a ticket for negligence.
