@freemo
To say honestly I also know Netherlands as more of the weed and hash place
@LoStz

@mur2501

It is known for being a weed place, but they still have the highest density of bikes of any country, so they are clearly at the top of the list for cyling... with that said even their weed use is more of an image than reality. The vast majority of dutch dont even smoke.

@LoStz

@freemo I don't smoke at all, and I have 4 bikes in my possession... ;)

@mur2501 @LoStz

@trinsec

:) very typical

@mur2501 @LoStz

@freemo
These are stereotype maps so naturally weed is selected instead of the cycle.
@LoStz

@mur2501 Yes, but.. we have more stereotypes! Windmills, clogs, tulips! Heck, even eating raw herring! Man, I'm hungry now. :P

@freemo @LoStz

@trinsec

Well to be fair most of those are accurate, at least to a point. You have windmills everywhere, people still wear clogs when gardening, you grow more tulips than weed, and there is raw hering within walking distance of anywhere yo ucould hope to be :)

@mur2501 @LoStz

@freemo Where the hell do we wear wooden clogs when gardening? 😋 Can't disagree with the rest though. :P

@mur2501 @LoStz

@trinsec

In the area I live (outside of utrecht in the country area) it is quite common, my neighbor wore them all the time and all my friends who have parents with gardens told me they all used them as gardening shoes.

@mur2501 @LoStz

@freemo For real? Wooden clogs? Or secretly crocs?

And then those westerners call /us/ farmers, jeez. (I live in the north)

@mur2501 @LoStz

@trinsec

wooden ones, and yea, very much the norm among my friends and the area I'm in.. keep in mind my friends are native dutch and they all agreed that clogs were still used for gardening among the older generation. It coudl be regional though I dunno.
