Title is of course a riff on this comic.

It's Utrecht, where they converted a canal into a highway, realized highways suck and kill cities by pumping cars into them, then converted it back to a canal and bikeway.

When you think about it, it's a form of 'daylighting'

As someone living in The Netherlands, this is one of the great things about the country.

Will only work in cities with administrations that prioritize cycling.

Like most large cities in Netherlands do. Actively promoting cycling so to reduce airpollution. Lucky for them electric cars are more and more prominent the last years.
