I'm always impressed to see all the bicycles in many parts of Europe. Because this is basically a rural area, people need to travel long distances and tend to drive cars/trucks. The roads are not safe places to ride bicycles.
@randystreat switzerland is a quiet and small country , distances are not like in US of course, plus cars respect walkers and bicycles riders( they all have priority on cars) thé Town is full of path reserved to bikes ... that makes things very easy and safe , and ecological friendly ( and it avoid to have to pay a sport abo in a center ) !
