A Study from the University of Southern Denmark Has Urged People to Consider Cycling like Netherlands

If we all took inspiration from the Dutch and cycled consistently, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million.

Australia’s entire carbon footprint could be offset, if the number of Australians cycling matched the number of Dutch cycling.

If everybody globally cycled as much as the Dutch - global carbon emissions could drop by 700 million tonnes per year.

A study from the University of Southern Denmark has urged people around the world to consider cycling like Netherlands, with an average of 2.6 km each per day.

Replicating this pattern around the world suggests that the astonishing figures above would be possible with a simple change in people’s transportation choices.

Read on to see the amazing climate and health benefits of increasing cycling.
