Fast Pedalling in North Holland

Description: Cycling from home to work, to the station, or simply heading out into nature with your dog or children — the Netherlands is truly a cycling country. In all kinds of weather, the Dutch keep riding over longer distances. The province of North Holland is developing so-called fast cycle routes: safe and comfortable routes for distances of up to about 15 kilometres. A prime example is the fast cycle route from Haarlem to Amsterdam along the N200. The F200 route has been improved with a wider cycle path, new bicycle streets have been laid in Halfweg-Zwanenburg and there are safer exits and more priority for cyclists. In developing this fast cycle route network, the province works closely with municipalities and residents. Fun fact: the dog of floral designer Inge Quint served as the model for this float.
