Biking to work ... in Holland

As I was eating my breakfast today (and since today is a religious holiday thus no newspaper delivery) I glanced at my Dutch biking magazine (Vogelvrije Fietser) to have something to read.

The article dealt with the need for even more bike paths here and gave some general statistics to back up that claim.

I found it interesting that 25 percent bike of all Dutch workers bike to their job, though to be honest (according to that article), 61 percent of all inhabitants live within 15 km \ 9+ miles of their work. Why wouldn't you bike to work is the real question I would think.
