The City Where Bicycles Rule the Road

Groningen in the Netherlands is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. This city in the northern part of the country has a population of 190,000, and 50 percent of all trips are made by bicycle – 60 percent in the city center. A citizen of Groningen rides a bicycle about 10 times per week. And as you can see in this envy-inspiring portrait of the city from Streetfilms, the city’s residents do just about everything by bike – including shopping at IKEA, where cargo bikes are available if you don’t have your own.
