Cycling in Amsterdam – Tourist Guide

In Holland, cycling is the most popular form of transportation and Amsterdam itself is the most cycle friendly city on earth. This has come about because it is completely flat and it has been embraced by the locals helping create dedicated cycle lanes throughout the city.
