Europeans are generally more environmentally friendly compared to the rest of the world and they like to cycle from one place to another. This saves fuels and does not contribute to air pollution.

Caught sleeping!

The great thing about EU is that there isn't much border restrictions (no stamping of passports for travel within EU nations, etc) and we comfortably had the smooth train ride from Antwerp (Belgium) to Delft (Netherlands).
