Best of all, you can likely make that same lap on bicycle as well as the cycling infrastructure is beyond awesome.

I want that here. I feel like so much less of a dying lazy ass when I bike places. I also don’t zonk out and suddenly realize I’m at the destination with no recollection of anything leading up to it since getting into the car.

Apparently it only takes 9hrs to drive around Moscow. US guys, your time to shine! I bet you’d have a city that would take more time to drive around than Netherlands

Nope, even New York is smaller.

Not sure how you’d drive around NY (on a boat?), but I was pretty sure that DFW is at least just as big - must be, given how it’s population is only 2x smaller, but consists mostly of suburbs that consume vastly more space per person compared to Moscow’s commieblocks. There’s no neat circle roads there, though, but taking even the most encompassing route (which is fair game given how Moscow’s ring road also wraps around a lot of area not under Moscow jurisdiction) it still takes less time, even though the distance is higher.

I’m reasonably sure that that route neither begins nor ends in Holland. I think Holland is the western area of the Netherlands, not the northernmost bit.

I have actually encountered this phenomenon, and it involves neither Americans nor Europeans. I live in Korea, and I’m from Canada. I’ve had to explain that no, I have never been to Vancouver because it’s something like 8000 km from where I lived on the opposite coast in Canada. At least a couple weeks of driving. In Korea, the furthest you can be from anywhere is about a four-hour drive.

Yeah, but plenty of the land contributed to Russia doesn’t belong to them, so its fake

And that’s not even a lap like the OP’s picture (if Russia even has such roads to approximate driving the perimeter)
