most dutch cities have secondary schools which are easily bikable by most students. In my personal experience, everyone i know biked, including people who had to bike for more then an hour to get home. This was roughly 30 years ago. But i doubt it changed much. Mind you, biking is so ingrained in dutch culture that alternatives are rarely used unless the distance is either too large (more then an hour one way usually) or there is some special need why one does not bike. This is especially true for teenagers and students, because other forms of transportation are either slow or inflexible (public transport) or far too expensive (motorized scooter) or not legal for them to use yet (a car).
