I always find it absolutely fascinating to see how many people ride their bikes whenever I'm in the Netherlands. Where I come from, I think you'd have a really hard time seeing somebody ride a bike in public who's older than 30 years. It's probably already difficult to find someone who's older than 20 and not a student.

In the Netherlands however, people of all ages ride a bike on a daily basis. It's not unusual to see more bikes on the bike lane than cars on the street. I remember once I was walking through a Dutch city and had to wait for more than a minute before I could cross the street, because there was a huge chain of bikers passing by, they just kept coming one after another. And that wasn't a sports event, just regular people. Oh, and they go hella fast and ride up really close to the one riding before them.

Really cool!
