That's a good distinction.
I think a lot of places are reporting "Amsterdam" because they apparently unveiled the largest bike parking garage in Amsterdam just a few months back. But the one in Utrecht is the largest in the world and only. Both cities seem to be very close (<40km) from each other, too.
Either way, the Dutch are showing the rest of the world how it's done!
To be faiiiiiiir, Oakville is 40km from Toronto and is basically considered "Toronto" by many outside the GTHA, so this feels similar to that.
Yeah, in the US, if you're within 50 miles or so (80km), you'd say you're from whatever that metro is. Then again, Utrecht is a large city on its own, so I guess that changes things.
