What makes you think that? Netherlands is notriously bad for cycling, I've never seen a bicycle there

Oh damn is it really? I thought it was good. I've been considering my options for moving there in the future and I had no idea.

they're joking or woefully ignorant. the government decided to prioritize cycles and the infrastructure is second to none.

It is very bicycle friendly, no idea what that other user is talking about...

Pretty sure they were joking. The "I’ve never seen a bicycle there" gives it away cos the place is rammed full of bikes!

Yeah I mean I was "window shopping" for living spaces there and all of the apartments touted some kind of bike parking with pictures showing them filled with bikes so I was confused.

I got so confused cause everything I saw indicated that but I haven't done in depth research on that specific topic so I thought it was something I just missed. Thanks, either way I'll be searching up the answers on my own haha
