      From a Dutchman: The Dutch people do not have "a passion" for bicycling. The reason is simple: in the Netherlands bicycling is ubuiquitous. People don't even think about it. It is just like breathing: we all do it all the time, but nobody has "a passion" for breathing, nobody even thinks about breathing unless there is a problem. We just DO it.
      Furthermore: the information about weather etc. is false. The Netherlands does not always have good weather. It is true that the climate is temperate and the averages for winter and summer temperature are not extreme. But A. Temperatures can be extreme (lowest measured temperature something like -20 celsius and highest maximum a few years ago 41 degrees celcius) also there often is a lot of wind, rain and sometimes snow or ice. But the Dutch people keep biking anyway.
      The reasons why we bike is actually a simple combination of factors:
      – We are a small country where distances for most trips are small
      – We are an very densely populated country with many old towns and cities where cars are unpractical and slow(!)
      – Space for parking a car is at a premium, parking is therefore very expensive, and often gives a lot of hassle
      – The country is practically flat, which makes cycling easier
      – Cycling is often the quickest and easiest way to get somewhere
      – Cycling is cheap
      – Cycling is healthy (instant workout)
      – Much less hassle parking your bike then parking your car, especially in the old city centre's
      – Cycling makes you feel better (after having had a moderate workout in fresh air on your way to your appointment instead of sitting in your car like a sack of potatoes…)
      – Cycling is environmentally friendly
      – Cycling has become a cultural tradition

      Dutch kids get their real bicycle at the age of 5 or 6, will cycle with parents until 7 or 8, and go alone in the village or neighborhood from that age. At 12 they leave primary school and have to go on bicycle to middle school (US-Highschool) because schools divert at that age. A suiting school may be in the next village or at the other side of the city. Schools do not provide sports, so for sports they cycle to a sports club of their choice, soccer, field hockey, tennis etc. Driving license exam can be done at the age of 18.
      Car use is expensive, high road tax, high fuel costs, yearly tech checkup, etc. so even in higher education/university Dutch students will continue to bicycle.
      Most families do own a car, but for short distance everybody will use bicycles, because parking can be a problem in the inner city, and bicycles are allowed in 'pedestrian' areas.
      Driving drunk has severe penalties and consequences, so many use the bicycle when going out.
      Many people commute by bicycle (and train) and leave the car at home so partner or adult offspring can use it. It would be parked for 9 hours at work, and be unused.

    25. Ian Klinkhamer on

      Dutch children are practically born with a bike between their legs.
      Kidding aside: most Dutch children will master riding a bicycle by the age of four or five at the latest; that's why later in life they're so agile with it that it almost feels like a wheeled extension of the body.
