Cycling in the Netherlands

Cycling in the Netherlands is the most popular form of daily transport; using a bicycle for your daily needs is fun, convenient and more importantly, (almost) for free! With more than 25 million bicycles in the Netherlands and 1,2 million new ones sold every year, this country is considered a cyclist’s heaven.

Facts about cycling in the Netherlands

  • Cycling for the Dutch is a way of life; it is distributed evenly across all income groups.
  • Rates of cycling do not fall considerably with age.
  • The Netherlands' flat terrain is ideal for average cyclists; short-range routes do not really require a high degree of physical fitness.
  • The quality of bicycle lanes (fietspad) is very high throughout the country.
  • The best season for long-distance cycling is the period from May till September.
  • You can purchase a new bicycle for about 250 to 500 euros or a used one for about 50 to 150 euros.

The Dutch are so obsessed with bicycles that they can ride them everywhere. Most Dutch folks even have more than one bike — one old and rusty one for running everyday errands, and another new and expensive one for outings, work, etc.

With 22 million bicycles for 17 million inhabitants, 32,000 kilometers of bicycle lanes, and the largest bicycle parking facilities in the world, the Netherlands could absolutely claim to be the world’s number one cycling country.
