Dutch Quirk #135: Refuse to buy a new bike, even if it’s falling apart
Everyone knows a Dutchie who won't buy a new bike even if their life depended on it — you can pry their old bike out of their cold, dead hands.
A recent short video uploaded by user Eefke de Jong offers a glimpse into daily life in the Netherlands, where cycling is a predominant mode of transport. The brief clip, filmed from a first-person perspective, showcases the front wheel of a bicycle navigating a brick-paved path under sunny skies. Accompanied by a cheerful soundtrack, the video highlights the simple pleasure of everyday commuting by bike in the Dutch landscape.
