In Amsterdam, 43% of employees cycle to work. Of course, the infrastructure makes it easy - the Dutch capital has more than 500 km of cycle paths and very good traffic lights. Close behind is the Danish city of Copenhagen, where 37% of employees pedal to work every day. Other cycling-friendly cities include Utrecht (Netherlands), Berlin (Germany), Antwerp (Belgium) and Malmö (Sweden).
Pedalling every day not only saves a lot of money on fuel. It's also good for the environment and for your health. Three hours of cycling a week reduces the risk of heart attack by 50%! With the right preparation, it is possible to cycle to work in the rain, in the heat or even in Winter.
In Norway, it is even possible to cycle uphill without pedalling at all...
It only takes one creative, tired cyclist to come up with a brilliant idea. His name is Jarle Wanvik and he is the designer of the world's only bicycle lift in Trondheim, Norway. Wanvik was fed up with the fact that every day when he rode his bike to work, he would be drenched in sweat and tired by the time he climbed the first hill. So he invented and built a curbside lift that takes cyclists to the top. Cyclists just have to activate the mechanism with their right foot, then slide their foot onto the support (their left foot is still on the pedal) and be pulled up by a conveyor belt installed along the pavement.
Inaugurated in 1993, the lift is still in use today and is not only an invaluable aid for local residents, but also a tourist attraction. It is free to use, for everyone!
