A common sight in ....

the Netherlands, a devoted bicycle country. With more than 20 million bicycles on roads, Holland has the highest bicycle density in the world. It's amazing to see almost the entire country bicycling like that. This pic was shot outside the railway station in Groningen.

  3. I used to read about families travelling on their bicycles in a group in netherlands in anne frank diaries, remember her bicycle was her pride and joy and during the war the thing the people most feared was losing the bicycles their most loved means of transport
