"The Dutch make over 1 million cycle trips every hour". All the latest (2011) figures of the Dutch Cyclist's Union in one video. These figures show that the scale of cycling in the Netherlands is quite phenomenal.

More in depth information on the blogs 'A view from the cycle path' and 'Amsterdamize'. The original figures from the 'Fietsersbond' (in Dutch).

  • 3m42s has the first sighting of the elusive Dutch helmet-wearer... :)

  • @antonyhilliard sorry to break it to you... but that was a group of Belgian cyclists...(Belgium is less than 40km from 's-Hertogenbosch, so they came cycling)

  • Amazing video! This is among the best of your videos in my opinion, but of course they are all so wonderful. Thank you for your continual sharing of how the Dutch succeed, dispelling the excuses people make for low levels of cycling, the history lessons, explaining infrastructure, showing bicycles in Dutch culture... Thank you very much!

see all
