What is an incredibly Dutch thing to do that people in the Netherlands do that other people do not?

Answer
Most Dutch people ride bicycles. Not only in their spare time, also just to get to and from school or work. We have way more people riding bikes than any other country and still our gouvernment is trying to get more people on bikes.

This blog often mentions the amount and percentage of the Dutch riding bikes, and the age groups:

In fact, all ages ride bikes, from kids who are just learning to walk to people in their 90's. I would not be surpriced if someone knows an 100 year old bicyclist.

Why cant I even land a bunny hop?

Patrick

I got a Kink Curb 2011 about a few months ago. But I dont get it. No matter how much a try or practice I just cant land a bunny hop and I feel pathetic everytime I dont land it because usally kids that are 15 and are pretty good at biking and I just suck. I do everything in a bunny hop that your suppose to do but I need answers on how to land this. Any tips?

Answer
you just pull yourself up then throw yourself forward and tuck your knees.
when i do big ones a kinda flip my feet under the pedals and tuck them up. use your legs.
if your foot keeps coming off just blast music and stop paying attention to anything, just do it.
im probably confusing you but thats about all i can suggest.
