The Guardian draws approving attention to the bicycle friendly workers paradise that is Pyongyang, North Korea. A minor detail, buried right at the end, is that women were banned from riding said bicycles in the otherwise enlightened Republic right up until 2014. But who the hell are we capitalist scum to impose our ideas of gender and culture on them, especially when the Dear Leader is slowing down on the public executions (only a few hundred this month) and installing environmentally friendly bike lanes? PS. Apparently the structure in the background of the pic is an actual building and not a scene from Austen Powers – https://youtu.be/WOZYoa_pod0
