Bicycles in The Netherlands
Written by Matrich on 3rd June, 2008
You might be wondering It is incredible to believe that almost everyone in Netherlands uses a bicycle in one way or the another. Back to my country, it is quite rare to find riding bicycles as a means of transport or something like that. While it is kinda prestigious for someone to own an expensive car, right here it isn’t much. Almost everyone uses a bicycle as a means of transport unless it is a far distance. I was actually astonished when I saw that bicycle lanes as part of the roads and also sometimes controlled by traffic lights. I guess one of the reasons for this is that most of their country is flat, people love sports and it is passed from one generation to another.
So what do you think about this? I know to most Ugandans, this should be something strange to hear.

Matrich, considering the terrible traffic congestion in Kampala, I think you should invite our Mayor to visit your website and get a tip or two on alternative means of travel in our beautiful city.
Hi John,
Nice seeing you over here. To me, it was incredible to find out that even CEOs, Mayors etc. use bikes as a means of transport if where they are going isn’t too far. bicycles also have lanes and traffic lights. It was really interesting to me.
Yeah!! sometimes, I really wonder what our leaders borrow from these countries when they travel.
There are some many interesting things which we could borrow but anywayz, I think you guys are the leaders of tomorrow so we can have hope for the future.
