Netherlands to install heated bike paths for winter

Netherlands to install heated bike paths for winter

Few towns in Netherlands are reportedly considering heating their bike paths, now that winter is coming. According to the local news publication De Telegraaf, a group called Dutch Cyclists Union are deeply interested in installing underground pipes on their pavements to keep them accessible and usable for the public. Heated bike paths will not only mean that the pavements are snow-free, it will also reduce road accidents and encourage more people to ride their bikes on what is considered to be the bicycle capital of the world. Among the towns in Netherlands considering the ingenious plan are Utrecht and the town of Zutphen.
