Accidents happen in the Netherlands just like anywhere else. I’m half Dutch and my grandfather was hit by a car and killed there.
“The bicycle was the most dangerous mode of transportation in 2022, with a total of 291 fatalities. The car came in second place, with 225 victims. By comparison, that year 57 pedestrians and 20 truck drivers were also killed in traffic accidents in the Netherlands.”
The numbers went up since the mass adoption of electric bikes. This caused especially elderly people to drive twice as fast as they could before, with heavier bikes they can’t control as well and they generally don’t wear helmets.
The next big problem are young people doing what young people do but now with electric assistance
I didn’t even think about that, but it makes sense why the numbers seem much higher now. My grandfather (Opa) was killed in the early 90s… somewhere around Eindhoven… can’t remember exactly

I think you have to look at the rate, accidents per km. That accounts for dutch using bikes more than other countries

Somewhere around Eindhoven in the early 90s, you say? 🤔
Was Romário cleared before fleeing to Catalonia?😛
So, are those bikers fatal to themselves or are they killed because of other vehicles?
I’d ask but he’s dead
