A recent mobility study in the Netherlands saw the residents of 76 towns and cities cycling more than driving for short trips of up to 7.5km (4.6 miles). For a cycling nation this may not be entirely surprising, nor the fact that the Dutch continue to look at ways of increasing the percentage of journeys cycled overall.
The same study also concluded that more people are cycling for longer trips of between 7.5km and 15km (9.3 miles). Goudappel Coffeng, a mobility research company behind the study, highlighted findings on bicycle use for slightly longer journeys: “This bicycle share is expected to increase in the coming years, due to the rise of regional bicycle highways, fast-track routes and the bullish sales of electric bikes.”
