Virtually all children in this country arrive at school by bike. So do their teachers, and the parents. Wonderful cycle paths make this possible as you can see in this video of a new housing estate in Assen. This is not "bike to school day" or any other kind of special event. It is what happens o
n every single day of the year. When this video was taken, the outside temperature was -2 C ( 28 F ). This is a primary school. Secondary schools are spread much further apart and children cycle up to 20 km each way to get to them. We are running Study Tours so that interested parties can see this

Great video! I ... ( 8 months ago by lfreedman500)
Great video! I hope we can replicate this someday in the US. To see how we have to go, I have posted a video showing what my son and I confront when we bike to school in the morning. Even though there is a great deal of mass transit in Manhattan and of course the option of bicycling, many, many parents will drive their kids to the local school. the problem is so bad at my son's school that the kids had to mount a campaign to get the parents to stop idling.

Wow, I would be in "heaven" if we had this anywhere in the US, much less where I live. Most "Americans" are too fat, too lazy, and too addicted the convenience of cheap gas to even think about using bikes as a means of transport. Somehow we have been trick to believe that bikes are not safe and SUVs are.

Dit houd in dat alle Nederlandse schoolkinderen elke dag naar school fietsen zonder ongevallen. En in amerika worden kinderen gebracht met een bus of auto..
Dat heb je ook in nederland, maar in nederland wordt er meer gefietst.. Hoewel amerika volzit met kinderlokkers, Dus nederland is in feite een stuk veiliger voor kinderen dan in amerika..

To name but three counties, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and much of Somerset are just as flat as the Netherlands. However, the Dutch make fewer excuses.

I don't suppose Bath has changed much since my last visit. I know Somerset very well. I lived there for many years (Hembrow is very much a Somerset name - the phone book is full of Hembrows). Even Switzerland has a higher cycling rate than the UK. That country really isn't flat. See my blog for more details of what the Dutch have done to make cycling so attractive here.
