@BlackDragon@hsnl.social yes, and?
The solution is to improve OV Fiets (which is what I said), not to consume valuable space on trains and in stations with people's private bikes.
The arguments being made in favour of private bikes in this thread are almost identical to the arguments car drivers use to justify driving their private cars everywhere.
At some point, private transportation doesn't scale, even for bikes.

@notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com @BlackDragon@hsnl.social For commuting I used to have a beater bike locked at the destination station. I needed the bike to change from one campus to the other anyway. The bike sharing bikes just... suck. Yeah, nowadays they are often pedelecs so the weight is not too problematic, but the geometry is unstable, the seat and the handlebars are really uncomfortable. I cannot ride more than a kilometre with those (it actually hurts!) And that kilometre I can also just walk (current commute).
