As I've already said, people bike everywhere. You will often see high schoolers biking home from school together, chatting and laughing, as they make their way home. You'll see elderly couples biking to the markets to wander around and purchase fresh foods. You see people biking with friends on the backs of their bikes every single day. Another big thing about the Netherlands is that they focus on sustainability, which is the idea that we want to focus on helping the environment and damaging it as little as possible. Well, bikes are a great way to do that. They don't harm the environment at all, the way cars do. Biking helps keep people healthy, which is already amazing, but it also keeps our planet healthy.
