A women walks with her bike in a huge bicycle shed near Central Station Amsterdam, The Netherlands January 17, 2007. There are more bicycles than people in the Netherlands, where each resident clocks up an average of 917 km (573 miles) a year on two wheels. Flat as a pancake and densely populated, the Netherlands has tried to mitigate traffic congestion by encouraging its 16 million people to travel on their 18 million bikes. Amsterdam's central station has a multi-storey parking house for bikes and there are racks on every street corner. Picture taken January 17, 2007.
