Ode to my Bicycle Day
Riding through the streets so free,
On my bicycle, just me.
Pedaling fast, wind in my face,
A moment of pure ecstasy, a thrilling chase.
Freedom on two wheels, I embrace. (poemverse. org)
Bicycles are riding companions to bike lovers. Bicycle is a pollution free travel companion.
Netherlands takes the cake for having more bicycles than the number of its citizens. For a population of 17,530,000, there are 23,000,000 bicycles. That is 1.31 per capita bicyles.
35,000 kilometres (1/4 of total road layout) of bicycle paths
welcome the riders.
No wonder, it is said that cycling is ingrained in Dutch culture as much as cheese and windmills.
