Cycling in Holland

Holland, land of bicycles,

Holland has more bicycles than residents.

And it shows!

There are 40,000 kilometers of cycling routes

which are clearly marked with the ANWB’s red and white signs and mushroom shaped posts, indicating the quickest and  or most scenic routes.

The Dutch use the bicycle as a means of

transportation rather than just a recreational sport, daily shopping and commute to work.

The moderate climate, the short distances and flat roads all serve to make Holland an excellent cycling friendly country.

While cycling through Holland you will notice wide open spaces like polders, beautiful forests bulb

fields, attractive towns and villages.

En route there are plenty of opportunities to have

a rest on the terraces of restaurants and cafes

Specially built picnic-area or anywhere along the

side of the road.
