Bike Race & Blend Smoothie

 

Celebrate the Netherlands’ commitment to sustainability and its deep love for cycling by participating in our bike competition. In a country where there are more bikes than people (over 24 million bicycles for 18 million residents!), cycling is more than just a mode of transport – it’s a way of life. With 153,000 kilometres of cycling paths, including 35,000 kilometres of dedicated ones, the Netherlands is one of the most bike-friendly nations in the world, making it safe and convenient for cyclists.

 

From a young age, children learn to ride through cycling schools that teach road rules and safe practices, fostering a culture of cycling that lasts a lifetime. The Dutch complete more than one-quarter (28%) of all trips by bicycle, with conventional bicycles accounting for 20% and e-bikes making up the remaining 8%.

 

Pedal your way to victory in front of a stunning Dutch landscape and experience the excitement of a race that combines skill, strategy and speed! But the fun doesn’t stop there – hop on a bike and you can also blend your own smoothie, powered by your own energy and enthusiasm. Join the tournament for a chance to win a lion or cow, two iconic symbols of Dutch history and culture!
