Doesn't everyone bike everywhere in the Netherlands?

No. Only short trips to the supermarket and such. Most of the trips are done by car.

Most cities in The Netherlands aren’t high density and the Dutch are king of urban sprawl hence the high amount of bicycles. In other European cities with better planning people walk instead.

He obviously was talking about long distance trips, not just daily grocery shopping to the nearest supermarket.
