Motorcycling in the Netherlands: women and bicycles
posted: Saturday 05 December 2009 by Alison in: News Bike freaks For the girls
In some weird statistics on motorcycling in the Netherlands, we find that the Dutch have about 650,000 motorcycles registered in their country, apparently doing 18.1 billion kilometres a year. In good news for the girls, a third of Dutch motorcycle licenses are held by women, up from a quarter about ten years ago.
But the most astonishing statistic is that in a country of just 16 million people, there are a total of 18 million bicycles. Now there I would really like to see the total number of kilometres clocked by bicycles. I know there are a lot, but seriously - two million more than the number of people?!
