The ''fietsvierdaagse'' is a typical Dutch event. The Dutch landscape is rich in Bicycle Trail s (''fietspaden''), where participants aren't bothered by Cars and other traffic and because the countryside is rather flat it makes for easy and relaxed cycling. The ''fietsvierdaagses'' are organised by local foundations, which set a route that the participants have to follow. The ''fietsvierdaagse'' is a Family event and many people participate in it. The events are especially well attended by the older adults however, whom have more free time or are retired and isn't quite as popular among children and young-adults. Every year they subscribe to a tour of four days of cycling through the local environment. The goal is not to set a time, but to enjoy Nature and to finish the tour. When the participants have completed the four days and have passed through all checkpoints, they usually get some sort of award often in the form of a small Medal . The most famous ''fietsvierdaagse'' is the Drentse Fietsvierdaagse in , but many local communities in the Rural areas of the Netherlands have their own ''fietsvierdaagse''.
