Bicycles are an indispensable part of the daily life of the Dutch. In the Netherlands, there are more bicycles than the domestic population. Therefore, a Dutch bike is derived.
So why are there so many bicycles in the Netherlands? It started because of a high number of child deaths on the roads. Back in the 70s over 500 children were killed in car accidents yearly. The masses launched a protest movement to "provide safe cycling for children". This protest along with other factors such as oil shortages convinced the Dutch government to change policy, restrict cars in its towns and support the growth of other types of transport, with the main focus on bikes.
In addition to the above reasons, there is also one aspect of environmental protection, more because the Dutch terrain restricts the use of cars, the terrain is flat, the streets are too narrow, and the population is very dense, so the Dutch choose to travel by bicycle.
There are many types of bikes and each of them has its pros and cons. If you would like to ride a bike to work, but it is long-distance you can think about a city bicycle. But if you want to look cool and make riding a pleasant experience go for a Dutch-style bike. High-quality Dutch bikes easily handle difficult terrain and long distances.
