> As the Dutch like to say: there is no such thing as bad cycling weather, only bad cycling clothes.

The Dutch also like to drive, with 588 cars per 1000 people, higher than Denmark, Ireland, Sweden etc, and more miles per person than France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and 14% higher than the EU average



Not sure where your stats are from, but they probably include Dutch people driving abroad: they can easily take the train and bike anywhere in their own country, so I suspect most of their driving is to go on holiday in Europe. They are famous for being a small country with surprisingly large number of caravans near every beach in Europe.


That makes sense, the excellent infrastructure in the Netherlands makes it a very pleasant place to drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RRE2rDw4k
