I want to move to the Netherlands within 1 or 2 years. I have seen that the Netherlands is known for being very bike friendly and almost everyone use a bike in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

However, my problem is I don’t like cycling and for me, it would be even worse when it’s raining or during bad weather in general and I know, in the Netherlands rains a lot! So, my question is if I can use public transport instead of cycling. Will dutch people think bad about me because I don’t want to use a bike? Is having a bike required for getting a job in The Netherlands?<\/p>\n

Of course, I would choose living in Rotterdam or Amsterdam since both cities have metro, tram and bus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","question-category":[318],"question_tags":[368],"class_list":["post-2791","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-travel-support","question_tags-support"],"yoast_head":"\nUsing public transport instead of cycling? - NRIPIO-FORUM<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nripio-forum.nl\/question\/using-public-transport-instead-of-cycling\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Using public transport instead of cycling?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I want to move to the Netherlands within 1 or 2 years.
