Photo-essay: The Three S's of Dutch Cycling

SIMPLE

Park right outside your front door. No permit needed. No lengthy search for a parking space.

The same goes for your destination . . .

. . . wherever it may be.

No need for special equipment like helmets and high-visibility clothing.

Simply get on . . .

. . . and go!

SAFE

On busy roads, bikes have a dedicated lane to keep cyclists protected from motor traffic.

Which can be comfortably used by people of all ages . . .

Low speed limits on small streets create safe and relaxing environments to mix with cars when there is no cycle lane.

SENSIBLE

Within cities, cycling is usually your fastest option. I did an experiment with a route planner on a journey of 4km from my apartment to Amsterdam’s central station. Driving comes out as one minuet faster than cycling, but that was in ‘lighter traffic than usual’ and doesn’t factor in time spent finding a parking space.

Cycling doesn’t just save you time, it saves you money too.
