22.9 million bicycles in the Netherlands. According to the quickscan, the total bicycle fleet in the Netherlands is more than 22.9 million bicycles, and more than 85% of Dutch residents own at least one bicycle. The Quickscan Circular Bicycle by New Economy reports this. The environmental impact and lifespan of bicycles are rarely mapped systematically.
Steering on lifespan and repairability reduces the impact of bicycles most. This is relevant for bicycle manufacturers, designers and organisations in circular mobility.
