The city of Almere, one of the Netherlands most modern architecturally designed cities in the Netherlands, and probably also of Europe, has a police force which hardly ever patrolls the numerous bike paths in and around this beautiful modern city.
One biker complained that when night falls probably half of the bikers, and mopeds, know as bromfiets in the Netherlands, have no lights and become a hazard and often also cause accidents for both bikers and pedestrians, on or crossing these bike paths.
"Worst of all, there is very little action taken by the police in Almere when it comes to these offenses by bikers. I have hardly ever seen any policemen on these bike paths checking, or handing out tickets to bikers,who don't have a light, or mopeds driving at high speeds. If they did, the city of Almere could be making a lot of money", she said.
