Cyclists’ Day in the Netherlands
May 9 · Level 5 · #1295 of 2238
Cyclists’ Day in the Netherlands celebrates a way of getting around that is woven into everyday life. Bikes carry people to work, children to school and riders out into the countryside, giving the occasion a focus beyond competitive sport.
How it is celebrated: cycling enthusiasts enjoy leisure rides and group outings along urban and rural routes. Exploring by bike offers a different view of familiar surroundings.
The Netherlands has more bicycles than people: owning an everyday bike alongside another for leisure is entirely possible.
