For a country that is relatively flat, it produces quite a few top pro cyclists! I'm surprised that there is not too many mountain ranges over there. Maybe it's a bit too far north? (Compared to middle europe)

Denmark is lowland islands on the foot of the Scandinavian fjell, but if you go a bit North, Norway has quite impressive mountains. The easiest way of getting around up there is by Nordic skiing, while we in Denmark have a very vital bicycle culture always competing with Holland to be the top cycling nation. I think that inspires many people to also use the bike for competition.
