Why I’m moving to Vilnius, Lithuania

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward


In the Lithuanian capitol of Vilnius, they respect their bike lanes.

Check out the PSA below that features the city’s mayor, A. Zuokas driving a tank over expensive cars illegally parked in the bike lane.

I love that he not only destroys the Mercedes, but he sweeps the bike lane afterwards. And he rides too! Another highlight was that he shook the car owners hand afterward. Of course, I’m sure this was staged, but as far as public service announcements go, this is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
