Why are the Dutch so happy?

On a lighter note, the Dutch are the “happiest people in the world”,
Scoring consistently high in international feel-good surveys. Their secret apparently lies in their ubiquitous use of bikes. According to research, cycling makes you feel independent and free, and is also nice and cheap. Cyclists experience less stress than, for example, motorists or people using public transport. And we don’t even mention the other health gains made by using the bike. However, the true key to Dutch happiness is maybe something else. People in the Netherlands, are on average the richest people in the European Union. Well, not as rich as people in Luxembourg, but it’s too small a country to count!
