PART B_2

Bike-friendly country
In the Netherlands, most people use bicycles for transportation. Nowadays, there are more bicycles than people who use them, but their government is willing to pay to get more cyclists on their roads.
In three years, the Dutch government wants to get 200,000 more cyclists. They will provide 390 million dollars to carry out development plans such as “cyclist freeways“ which are highways for cyclists. Also, they will create 25,000 bike parking spaces and improve cycling facilities. Their goal is for people to easily travel around to visit anyone and go to school or work. In 2016, most people in the Netherlands traveled by bike but 37% of them were for leisure. Others were for school and other activities. Only 25% of them rode a bike to work. However, 50% of those people live less than 15 kilometers away from their work which can easily be traveled by bicycle. So now, the government decided to give tax credit rewards to cyclists to encourage them to use bikes instead of cars to travel to work. However, the government is banking on more companies to help their employees know about this benefit. Because of that, the number of companies who back up their employees has been increasing. They provide free bicycles and other facilities to encourage their employees to use bicycles.
