2/3 of kids bike to school in Assen because it was designed that way (2013)
I kind of love the Netherlands (long story) and we have a huge framed photo from Ikea of a canal in Amsterdam on our kitchen wall. Our youngest knows where the picture is from, even though he hasn't had the chance to go yet due to Covid/environment/finances.<p>Still, as a parent from Sweden, seeing so many pictures of biking kids and <i>no</i> helmets is jarring.<p>I know that selling bike safety ideas to the Dutch is like selling ice to the Innuit, but it's still weirding me out.<p>Edit: typo.
