I like it. Places actually realistic to travel to, for the most part. Not like, Nepal, for instance.

World's happiest places. Look at the top few.

Wish the US would embrace cycling like those top countries. Makes all the difference.

I like the idea - it's great!
But none of the top five from the two lists match?
I looked at the Happy Planet Index in Wikipedia - they list the top 50 countires - the only one from the World Happiness Report's top 5 that made the list was Norway at #29.
Calls into question the validity of both indexes.
Also, the World Happiness Report, done by the UN and citing a bunch of Euro-socialist-type countries as the top 5? Just goes to show that bicycles are a left-wing plot designed to make all our children gay and turn our guns into vegan butter substitutes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index
I'd say that's more relevant than cycling.
Ever been to Southeast Asia (Vietnam, China, etc.)? Cycling is everywhere, education is not.

Wiki is unreliable garbage, but the debate of course is valid. I just noticed that the top few places cycle. Yes, they are also very educated. The US is way behind in... well most everything compared to Scandinavia and the Nordic countries.

Just once I'd like to see Canada get first place in something.

They're too polite, they wouldn't take it anyway.
I love Canada.
