Welcome to a new episode of Healthy Planet, I am your host Martin Redfield, and today we will talk about a healthy habit in the Netherlands: cycling.

Do you have a bicycle? What do you use it for? In most countries, bicycles are used mostly as a hobby, or as a fun alternative to other ways of transportation. Some people use it to go to work because it's more economic, but they are a small minority.

That's not the case for the Netherlands. People in the Netherlands love cycling. They love cycling so much that it has become their main method of transportation.In Amsterdam, more than 70% of all trips are done in a bicycle, and results show that the average citizen from the Netherlands owns at least two bikes. In fact, there are more bikes than people!

Why does this happen? Well, let's go back to our reality fi rst. Have you ever seen roads that can be used exclusively by bicycle? Maybe you have, but those exclusive roads are an exception because they are not everywhere. In the Netherlands, however, they have bicycle roads everywhere.Cyclists can freely move inside a city or even travel between cities without having too much trouble, because they will always have a special road for them. Bicycles even have their own traffi c lights.

Biking inside a populated city like Amsterdam can be difficult because it is a busy city and you will be cycling along many other people, but cycling on the countryside is a beautiful experience that will give you a sense of freedom that you will surely enjoy.

But what are the benefits of cycling? By using a bicycle, you are contributing to a less contaminated city, but there are also many other benefits to your own health. Using a bicycle every day is an excellent form of exercise, it will help you to reduce the risk of heart problems, cancer and diabetes. You will also work out many muscles in your body, and you will also lose weight. Finally, cycling will also help you to relax and improve your mental health.

That's all the time we have for today. Tune in next week for another episode of Healthy Planet!
