In the Netherlands there are a lot of people and a lot of bikes and a lot of people continuously on their bike. We go everywhere with our bikes. Even our prime minister goes to the Parliament Building on his bike. Riding a bike is the Netherlands is no joke, seriously. So here are 8 types of cyclists everyone in the Netherlands know.

1. The school kids

5. The parents
