A look at how and why the Netherlands have integrated the bicycle into their national transport system - a pattern stetching back to the 1960s.

I asked decision-makers in the UK whether our country could ever look just like the Netherlands with car-free cities and a casual cycling culture.

It is a timely discussion given the rise of environmental awareness worldwide. It's becoming increasingly pertinent to try to find an answer to the private automobile in our transport network - in favour for more sustainabale modes of transport such as cycling or walking.

With discussions from the Dutch Cycling Embassy, British Cycling, the Fietsersbond among others.
