Dutch Cycling

Link
The Netherlands has a unique problem in Amsterdam, where the number of bikes are greater than their population by about 10%. While US cities would be hard fought to find a city where cycling is as crowded, it shows just how many people are willing to cycle if the infrastructure supports it and promotes safety. While many riders will not cite health benefits, the economic upside and potential time reduction in commuting can lead to a higher quality commute and increase satisfaction with living in the area.
