Cyclists were excluded from the initial ban because of their lower speeds, Van Niewenhuizen said. “But in fact, using a phone is just as dangerous on a bike as it is in a car,” she said. “The fact is that whenever you’re on the road you should be paying full attention and not doing anything at all on a phone.”

凡·钮文惠真表示，最初的禁令不包括骑车，是因为骑车速度相对较慢。她说：“但事实上，骑车用手机就和开车用手机一样危险。无论何时，只要你在马路上，都应该集中注意力，而不要用手机做任何事。”

The increasing popularity of electric bikes meant cyclists’ average speed had risen, the minister added, while the country’s 22,000 miles of cycle lanes and paths had become more crowded.

这位部长还说，电动自行车的日益普及意味着骑车的平均速度提上去了，与此同时，荷兰长达2.2万英里（3.5万千米）的自行车道和人行道也变得愈发拥挤。

The Netherlands has more bikes – about 22.5m – than people: 17 million. Almost a quarter of the population cycles every day and cycle use has increased by about 12% since 2005; the average Dutch cyclist now covers more than 600 miles a year in 250-300 trips.

荷兰的自行车（2250万辆）比人（1700万）还多。近四分之一人口每天都要骑车，自2005年以来，自行车使用量增加了约12%；荷兰骑车者每年平均出行250到300次，里程超600英里。
