Bike commuting in Netherlands?

07-06-2004, 05:27 PM

Okay, it's a very long shot, but I'm looking at a really interesting job
in the Hague. I have this image in my head of the Netherlands being a
very bike-friendly place. Can anyone tell me, based on actual facts
(not rumour or innuendo) whether The Hague is a friendly place for bike
commuters?

The answer won't be a major consideration, should I be offered the job,
but it might be a small factor in a decision.

I work in the Hague. I was born near Amsterdam. I live near Arnheim. (A
bridge too far movie area).
As a city, the Hague is just as biker friendly as any other major Dutch
city, so I think it is Ok. Seperate cycling paths and motorists who are
being used to people on bikes.
If you like to have more information you may want to consider to repeat your
question in news:nl.fiets and you will have some more answers in you own
languag.

page us when you have settled in and I will show you around.

cheers,
