    It's all fun and games until the websites you need (bank, local government, etc) only support the pipes build by a tech corp in a faraway country. Diversity is good and healthy.

    Dutch person here. I believe the driver is at fault, unless it can be proven that the cyclist had a serious part in the crash. Having said that, there is significant effort made he…
