To most people in the Netherlands (荷兰), bicycle riding is part of everyday life. It's their first choice to school and work. In cities like Amsterdam, people take almost 70% of all the trips by bike. Why does cycling become popular in the Netherlands?

They have traffic signs and signal lights for cyclists.
Even when both bikes and cars have to share the same road of little space, you can always see a large board saying "Bike Street. Cars are guests". It means that riders have priority (优先) over drivers. For example, cars must slow down and let bikes pass first if they run face to face.
