her punishment was a 2500 SEK fine? They've just told the entire country that we can pay the equivalent of a new bicycle to block oil tankers, this is amazing.
Where the hell do you get a new bicycle for 2500 SEK? I paid 2 or 3 times that for a midrange bike (in Estonia, admittedly). 2500 SEK is good used bike territory.
Eh maybe if you only want to cycle slowly around town, sure. For me, a bicycle is more for exercise than transportation.
It's kinda the same as saying 8k EUR gets you a new car. I mean yeah, it's technically true, it gets you a Dacia Sandero, but most people will still go for something they can actually enjoy.
That's what bikes are for.
