But is such casual cycling something uniquely Dutch? How is it different from the cycling culture in China, Vietnam, India or much of the third world?

I know that Denmark is trying hard to overtake Netherland as the best bicycle country in the world.

Also, according to some reports[1], there are 9 million bicycles in Beijing alone.
