Cycling is a truly Dutch pastime and almost every Dutch person has a bike in their shed, but not everyone enjoys cycling. Still, it is a good way to move around, because you can’t get everywhere by car and it takes longer to get from A to B on foot. If you don’t feel like active cycling, you can buy an electric bicycle cheaply and move around more relaxed on the two-wheeler. You can easily get a nice bike and make cycling your hobby.
