A city for cyclists
Amsterdam – what an amazing city! Everywhere you look there are people on bicycles! They’re all kinds of people: business people, students, tourists, parents riding with seats for young children, workers and shoppers carrying things in bags and baskets. With a population of 1.3 million, Amsterdam has around a million bicycles – that’s four times the number of cars – and 60% of all journeys in the city are made on a bike.
Amsterdam has flat roads – but that isn’t the only reason why cycling works so well there. It’s also because the city is organised to suit cyclists as well as motorists. There are lots of cycle paths where cars aren’t allowed. Other streets and roundabouts have bike lanes and there are special traffic lights for cyclists. Parking a car in the city centre is difficult – but there are thousands of parking places for bikes. And if you don’t want to ride your own bike, it’s easy and cheap to hire one.
There are a few places where cyclists can’t go. For example, they can’t ride on a motorway. Also there are tunnels under the river which they can’t use – they cross the water on ferries instead. But for many trips, it’s easier to get somewhere on a bike than in a car.
So it’s normal to cycle here – and it’s usually safe. Helmets aren’t worn in Amsterdam because there isn’t much danger from other traffic. Every child has road safety lessons at primary school and children are taught by their parents to ride on the roads from an early age. When they are 12, they take a test to show they can cycle safely. Amsterdam is designed to be bike-friendly. Other cities should have a look and follow its example.
