Cycling in the Netherlands is a social activity like no other. Made possible by infrastructural planning and design. Why wait until you get to your destination while you can have a great time with friends along the way too?!

What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

The Amsterdamsestraatweg, the longest commercial- and residential street in Utrecht, is getting a make over from 'facade to facade'. When finished, traffic speed is limited at 30 km/h and pedestrians, cyclists and greenery will have more space. The end result is already visible on some places.

We all know #CarBloat or 'autobesity'. But let me introduce a positive counterpart: Bike lane bloat: the increasing widening of cycling infrastructure to accommodate the rising number of cyclists in city streets. 🚲 👌🏼

Cycling infrastructure = equitable infrastructure. It not only serves people cycling, it also offers a safe and convenient option for people that, for whatever reason, don't cycle or drive, but rely on adapted transport to get around independently.

Curious about what a 'duofiets' is? How the Dutch Fietsmaatjes program makes cycling even more inclusive and how we organize that in Utrecht? How it helps fighting loneliness and health problems such as obesity and lack of exercise? Then tune in this Wednesday!

When the Dutch build bike parking facilities, they don't 'just' build them. They build pieces of art. Like the IJboulevard parking at Amsterdam Central Station. The parking not only offers space for 4,000 bikes, it also houses two copies of famous paintings that are actually in the Rijksmuseum.

⛔️ Permanently closed ⛔️ This road in Utrecht will become a park, connecting a new residential area with the existing neighborhood on the other side of the road. The park will provide space for nature, water storage, cooling and play areas. Car traffic is guided around the new residential area.

Bicycle underpasses are an important ingredient of Dutch cycling infrastructure. This underpass in Utrecht, opened in 2020, allows cyclists on a busy main cycling route to cross a two-way street and double bus lane on a safe and convenient way, without causing any delay.

No, this is not a new bicycle parking at a large Dutch railway station. It is the bicycle parking underneath the new school building of a secondary school in Utrecht, with over 1,000 students. This is how you facilitate and stimulate kids (and their parents!) to choose for active travel!
