PM Modi also took to Twitter to thank Minister-President Mark Rutte for the lovely gift. 



For those who are unaware, Prime Minister of the Netherlands – an economic superpower - is NEVER driven in convoys.


A video shared by the Dutch national Broadcaster showed Prime Mister Rutte arriving at his office and later in the evening going home on a bicycle. 


In the video, the Dutch Premier can be seen getting help to fix a minor technical hitch in his black mamba bicycle.


Even during his state visit, Rutte always tries to maintain the tradition of coming to work on a bicycle.


In 2012, the Prime Minister Mark Rutte shocked the Iranian delegation when he arrived at work with a bicycle.
