Who teaches you

Anke Visser

Hallo, I'm Anke Visser. In the Netherlands, people in their late sixties and seventies ride more than almost anyone, and many still ride at ninety. My mother rode until she was 91.

For 35 years I was a traffic engineer in Utrecht. I designed bike lanes and crossings, and I studied why older riders fall and why they get hit. Then I fixed it.

Here I share the Dutch way with you, one stop at a time. No racing and no speed. Just the habits that keep Dutch grandmothers riding every day.

Ride calm. Ride often.
