5. Happy people ride bicycles—by choice.
Denmark and the Netherlands (the happiest and the fourth-happiest countries on Earth) are renowned for being the world's most bicycle-friendly nations; the other most-happy countries are also famously bicycle friendly. To be sure, much of the developing world gets about by bicycle, as does economic powerhouse China, but not, it seems, because they want to.
"I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle," a 20-year-old female contestant on a Chinese game show remarked in 2010. She isn't alone in that. The Chinese as a nation may not be wildly happy with their lot in life—they finished a lowly 93rd on the World Happiness Report—but sales of BMWs there are booming, with the company's profits up 52 percent for the first half of 2013.

Ние не се нареждаме в челните позиции сред щастливите нации, даже май сме по-скоро в по-челните места на срещуположната страна.
Интересно е, колко ли хора тук карат колела по избор, не по необходимост.
Аз лично май винаги съм карал колело по избор и бих се определил като що годе щастлив.
Е, трябва да уточня, че съм щастлив, защото съм глупав и това много ми помага, но да не се отклонявам твърде много.
