The Netherlands is of course an utmost cycling country. There's no more cycling than here. Almost everyone bike and can ride a bike. We have already very young balance bikes and bicycles with training wheels. We learn to ride a bike at an early age. On Sunday, for example, from your father, who pushes you down the street in a few hours and chases you. A second day, you try again. After a little trial and error, we can do it. Most children have mastered cycling quite quickly.

We cycle, first with Mom, to school, to the club and to Grandpa and Grandma. As we get older, we cycle to sports, to the club and to work. We cycle to the store and to friends and girlfriends. Of course we also do errands with it.

If the weather is really nice, then we go on the bike, all in mass. So we also cycle for the conviviality. Just a ride. Just like that.

In the old days, that could only “pull out” by bike. There was no car yet, it was there, for most Dutch people, only in the 1960s.

In those earlier years were the bicycles (bicycles) of the brands Batavus, Singer, Gazelle,RIH or Empo, They were indestructible and they were only in black to get. So no different colors like these days!
