BBC新闻：世界自行车首都阿姆斯特丹

燕山大学刘立军宋崴编写

◆TRANSCRIPT

Bikes outnumber humans here. They say the cycling is in the Dutch DNA. So how did they achieve this utopia? Cycling is an egalitarian mode of transport. Roughly half of inner-city journeys are made on two wheels. You really feel like the streets belong to you. And that gives you a sense of freedom. An elaborate network of bike paths criss-cross the city. Segregated cycle lanes make people feel safer and reduce the risk of collision. Controversially it also means hardly anyone wears a helmet.

Zero air pollution. It's good for your health. Flexibility. Actually you get to see a lot of the city. There are approximately 10,000 bikes spots around the central train station alone. Being also cyclists, most drivers in Amsterdam know next time it might be them in the saddle. Even the famous Rijks museum accommodates bikes. You see the signs everywhere. The cyclist is king of the road.
