Nederland has it all - and has had for quite a long time.Everybody bikes.
There really is alternative transportation.
In the picture above, you can see the pedestrian walkway; the bike path; car lane; and tram/bus. This is just for the eastbound traffic; there are four more for westbound.
In addition, the whole country has signs with mileages and directions for bikers.
Below you can see two couples out for a ride discussing which way to go.
Nederland and Flanders Belgium share a system of long distance bicycle paths and "crosspoint" markers. Some cyclists go out with no map but simply a list of crosspoint numbers to follow.
Nederland is way ahead in having biking as a viable transportation; also for commuters.
Everyone bikes; from the time that they can push the bike until very old.
