I live in a car dependent USA city. It was very sad seeing my grandparents lose mobility freedom when they could no longer drive. They were still physically mobile, but the infrastructure and development pattern was incredibly hostile to alternatives to driving. Without family around and people that could be the drivers the social isolation would’ve been severe.

What a beautiful country, people aged 70 or 80 years driving bicycles, here in Poland I have never seen that :(

Giving birth in the Netherlands is a difficult job. First the newborn, no issue... Then the bike, my God, those women suffer so much. When I moved to the South of Europe my parents asked a few times: "How's it going". No concern while selling furniture and tools. One day I said:" I sold my bike", both looked in amazement and said: "You are really going now aren't you"? An American without a car is as rare as a Dutch without a bike. A few months ago I finally got my second bike... One for shopping, one for fun and speed.

I love my car & use it almost everyday (it has air conditioning and today is expected to reach 40°C / 104°F) but I still wish I had the OPTION to take my bike. Bicycle lanes here in Slovakia simply don't exist, and the drivers are maniacal. I always give cyclists as much room as possible, but not every driver here does the same. The cyclist injury/death statistics are grim, but it doesn't have to be this way - if only governments & councils used a thing called planning.

My Dutch friends had the same attitude as you, until I took them for a ride in London, after which they very quickly came to appreciate the genius of their countries road transportation policy & design.

Imagine how much saver the roads would be if half of the people driving a car weren’t unpredictable, frightened, blind and reacting slow? With all respect…☝️👵 My 76yo dad prefers biking but he drives the car relatively well and is quit predictable I’d say. Apart from leaving his indicator on until he has to use it again.😅 But my mom who is panicky and not as confident behind the wheel was unpredictable and simply dangerous. She sold her car after 3 incidents and a whiplash in 1 year, because she has alternatives. And I’m grateful that she has that FREEDOM!!

i wish my city (london) was more like this. implementing more and safer cycle routes is the first and best step to get people cycling not just promoting the "healthier, cleaner, greener" slogans.

Compared to the rest of the world the Dutch should be regarded philosophers in this regard. it may take years and years for other nations to estimate what this nation is doing, and follow suit.

Even during cycling holidays: the Brit spoil the cycling landscape in The Netherlands with their huge, annoying helmets and crazy lycra outfit, obligated by their travel insurance companies. Helmets give negative connotations to a bicycle, making people think it's dangerous when it's not.

It's great to see children and the elderly using their bikes calmly and safely. Kids on bikes in my country run fast without looking around. They need to know that they are not professional cyclists! And the old people sometimes drive too slowly because they don't have enough pedaling power. Accidents often occur due to lack of attention and not being able to see cars or pedestrians. I want drivers in my country to know that most accidents can be prevented by always looking to the left and right no matter what they are driving and being careful at all times.

Absolutely fantastic

This is the best cycling video I have seen in the world

I live on the Mojave Desert in Southern California, U.S.A.. I'm 82 and bought an electric bike a few months ago. Sadly the roads around the area in 29 Palms are so dangerous for bike riders that I really can't use my bike the way I had originally planned to use it unless I want to never make it to 83! The roads around my area don't even have shoulders, let alone bike lanes. California now has over 40 million inhabitants, and only a few areas in the state have any safe areas where bike riders are welcomed.

John Rawlins What you seem to miss is that cycling is a completely normal mode of transportation here. Not a sport. In fact most cyclists travel in a very leisurely tempo. Around 10 km/h. Our entire infrastructure and the traffic laws are designed with this in mind. For example: the greater the expected difference between the speed of cars and of cyclists, the more seperation between motor lanes and cycle lanes.

@@koosmotormuis Thank you so much.

Who is the music composer on this video?

Are most of the roads in the Netherlands wider than in the UK?

Dat wilde ik ook al zeggen. Acht is veel te oud en tachtig veel te jong.

That's crazy.. especially since I've payed over 100 bucks for not wearing a helmet here in New zealand. I think it's only a revenue gathering law myself.

8 to 80 men and women black and white muslim and christian rich and poor and all are cycling together , very very rare in this world

As a dutch person who loves to bike, living outside of the country, I miss things being... flat.

no there a special place in my heart for a good hill and a bike with good brakes to stop at the bottom haha. Tackling that hill, that climb and reaching the top and being able to coast fast and reach speeds you nornmall can't reach. Theres true joy of another kind in that type of riding.
