Bike riding might already be an environmentally friendly way to travel, but the Netherlands is taking it to the next level: the country recently unveiled two solar powered bike paths, and each has a unique twist.

SolaRoad officially opened the first road in the world that converts sunlight into electricity in Krommenie this week. It stretches 70 metres long, but should reach 100 metres by 2016.

The bike path produces enough energy to power three households.

Across the country, in Nuenen, a different kind of solar powered bike path also opened this week. The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde Bicycle Path, from Studio Roosegaarde and Heihmans Infrastructure created the path, was inspired by the famous painting “Starry Night.”

The path is one kilometer-long and charges during the day to provide cyclists with a glowing green path at night.

Roosegaarde also recently used the same technology to mark out the edges of a highway road.
