We all know that Netherlands is the most bike friendly country in the world.

So, how many of you know the real “power” of bikes in Netherlands?

I just discovered some important tips and tricks regarding biking in this beautiful country. I thought it would be a pity not to share this with all of you, so here we go.

Netherlands has an amazing infrastructure. And I am not talking only about highways and airports.

Since the spring in here a bike trip sounds like a good idea for escaping the rush of the city.

On this website: http://www.nederlandfietsland.nl/fietsrouteplanner you can plan your bike trip using the magic tool provided. You can actually travel across Netherlands using just bike paths.

http://www.bikemap.net is another website that provides bike routes that you can enjoy with your friends.

Here is a short movie about the bike paths and their use in Netherlands.

Getting around in Groningen is simple and new students don’ t have to worry about this “problem”. The city of Groningen is called the bike city of the Netherlands, because 57% of the journeys within the city are accomplished by bikes. In other words, the area of Groningen has a comfortable size, lots of students and therefore getting around in Groningen is easy on bikes.
