What is the sense of "a typical lift in the Netherlands is only 25-50 km". Besides the fact that you mention it as "only". Typcial lifts do not exist. To explain it I should study the meaning of the word typical, but the discussion already ends there. If you hitchhike every day to school, and the school is 5437 meters away your typical lift might be 5437 meters minus the meters that you walk. If you like to go from Utrecht to Leeuwarden every weekend, and once in a while, your typical lift will have a different distance. Asking for rides gives a different average, as does hh at night or only on Mondays, or only with your grandmother, alone, a pet or a fridge. It's too rough for me to say "typical 25-50 km" since it depends on what you want to transport, of experience and technique and of your desired mobility pattern. Expected avg is much longer on a return trip Maastricht-Amsterdam than De Cocksdorp-Cadzand.

How do you define a typical lift?
