Cycling in the Netherlands. 🚲

The Netherlands is known as a true cycling country. For many Dutch people, the bike is the fastest and easiest way to get around. Whether it’s commuting to work, going to the supermarket or catching a train.

And the good news? There are many ways to get started.
You can buy your own bike, choose a monthly bike subscription that includes maintenance and repairs, or use shared bikes that can be picked up and dropped off in different locations around the city.

Most cities are designed with cyclists in mind, with dedicated bike lanes, bike parking and cycling routes almost everywhere.

For internationals, getting comfortable on a bike is often one of the first steps to feeling at home in the Netherlands.

Once you start cycling here, you’ll probably never want to stop.
