Motorcycling in the Netherlands: women and bicycles

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?!
