It's not so much mountain bikes that dominate over there, it's mainly just regular kinds of (gouwe ouwe Batavus) bikes. It's just all about tradition I suppose. Cycling has always been the easiest and cheapest method of transport in the Netherlands, and what with cars and licenses being so incredibly expensive over there, many people have just decided to stick with that they know best. People over here think I sometimes sound like grampa Joe, just because it's true that I used to cycle five miles to school when I lived there. I suppose my saving grace is that I never walked fifteen miles in my bare feet just to get the paper every morning.
