Which part of NL? Amsterdam?
What about the rest of NL?
There didn't seem to be any shortage of grocery shoppers doing the
rounds by bike in Den Haag or Alkmaar when I was there a week ago.
Places I've been in NL where it wouldn't really work are the places
where there's no bike paths anyway, rather than impractical ones.
And that would only stop the locals from doing their shopping by bike
path, not by bike-on-road - which many people choose to do even in the
areas that bike paths are available.
Quite so: I didn't mean to imply that with no bike paths you can't shop
safely by bike, just that you can't use a bike path that isn't there.
