Swiss cycling

Cycling a major mode of transportation around here. I have been rather shocked about one thing though. The Swiss seem to take safety very seriously. We saw a city employee running a weed wacker wearing a bright orange jumpsuit with reflective stripes, long leather gloves, a helmet and full face shield. However, I honestly have only seen 3 people wearing bike helmets?

In any case, there are a lot of different bikes around, big bike parking areas near train stations and stores, etc. I've snapped some photos and thought my cycling friends would enjoy a look. The first one is am electric-assist mountain bike. Then a cool old commuter bike, then a couple bike parking areas.
