Snelbinder, Bicycle bridge in Nijmegen, Netherlands
The Snelbinder extends 235 meters across the Waal River, running parallel to the railway bridge and connecting the city center with the Lent district.
The bridge opened in 2004 as an addition to the existing railway structure, which dates back to 1879 and features twin tower structures designed by architect Cuypers.
The bridge name 'Snelbinder' refers to the elastic straps cyclists use to secure cargo, reflecting the strong cycling tradition in Dutch transportation culture.
The dedicated cycling infrastructure provides a direct route across the Waal River, accommodating thousands of cyclists and pedestrians daily throughout the year.
A metal plaque on the bridge railing displays text from the Dutch author Nescio's short story 'De uitvreter', which mentions the railway bridge.
