AMSTERDAM
Bicycle city of the world
There are around
847.000 bikes in
Amsterdam that belong to
442.693
households.
There are four times more bicycles than cars in
Amsterdam.
80% of Amsterdammers own a bike and almost 60% use
their bikes on a daily basis.
In the whole Netherlands, there are
23.000.000 bikes.
It’s not a secret that Amsterdam has been ranked as one of the most
bicycle-friendly cities in the whole world.
There are many paths, signs and traffic lights designated for cyclists
exclusively.
You can literally access the whole of Amsterdam by bike. The total
length of cycle paths throughout the city is around
600 kilometers.
Most of them are located alongside roads with a 50 km/h speed limit and
thoroughfares.
If a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h applies, there’s no requirement to
build separate cycle paths. This means bikes and cars need to coexist.
