In summer us Dutch swim to work and grocery store via the canals. You'll hear that next summer Olympics.

Dear @katiecouric, the Dutch do NOT skate to work.
Skating on clogs is too hard, even for us. https://t.co/WkwQ0yQTIf— Gert van Dijk (@Gert_van_Dijk) February 11, 2018

No visitor to Amsterdam can have missed the hordes of Dutchvolk speeding past, borne on modified clog-skates, and propelled by tactically placed windmills. https://t.co/lV60AprAZa

Exactly! This is also why the British team does so well at cycling in the Olympics; it's a little known fact that we all travel everywhere by Penny Farthing. pic.twitter.com/pvEFhg6iC1

We in Australia all use the Uber Kangaroo service to get from A to B. Skippy managed to get me across town by leaping single buildings in one bound the other day.
