I live in the United States. It is hard enough to find a bicycle rack in front of any kind of building except at a university. And even then, the rack might be kind of inadequate.

The whole idea that someone would invest the money to build an actual structure to hold parked bicycles is just mind-blowing

I was just thinking of ways to get around their bike centric culture . I bet nice comfortable fast mobility chairs would sell well over there .

They could probably go in any lane a bike could .

Not someone, the municipality of Amsterdam thought it was a good idea to invest this money for the wellbeing of its citizens...

(sorry but i saw someone in another reddit post ridicule the fact that it won't be profitable for at least 10/15 years or so)

Pretty much every station has some facility to park your bike. Sure sometimes it's just a rack or an oversized shed, but bikes are definitely encouraged.
