There are 22x more people per sq km in The Netherlands when compared to New Zealand. So, you have to get very creative as to how to move people around.
While Trains, trams and buses are plentiful, car ownership is 35% lower than in NZ, so the bike has to step up as the short to medium-distance people mover. They, the bikes also carry dogs, groceries and even long timber loads.
A large variety of bikes are seen.
From 1 to 5 wheelers and even up to 6. Yes, 6 wheels.
They carry 1, to 11 riders.
We trust you enjoyed viewing this very different Remote Places NZ video, one of our Europe series. Getting out of your car onto a bike slows you down and you see, experience and enjoy the area you travel through much more.

If the country is flat and there are small distances to travel, then it's ok to ride a bike.
Yep. Here in Austria, we're not as far along as the Dutch. But it's getting better.
Nice work, thanks. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott
