Locals will run red lights, that they know and when there is no police in sight. It actually makes biking more efficient, because let's say there's 20 cyclists approaching a red light and 7 slip through, then there only 13 starting up at the same time. In short, better use of the road, time and space. But, only do it when you know the times of a light, and how long it takes for the cars in the other direction start up.

This was totally refreshing. Just good vibes. 3:04 was an amazing demonstration of non-verbal communication. Also the camerawork is excellent! Interesting angles and fantastic colors. And the sounds?! Hearing the birds sing mixed in behind the dips of the song was downright therapeutic.

Big mistake is stop when you on the bike always keep moving and go with the flow

Sure, because stopping to give priority to cars is just an insane thing to do. After all when the car hits you, through your own stupidity, you still get paid because the driver is always wrong.

​@@williamgeardener2509no, when you are wrong, and they will investigate if the is medical need, you will be held accountable. It is a common misunderstanding, but priority is who are the most vulnerable. As a cyclist you will have a hard time when the pedestrian has right of way...

@@Paul_C Not really in the Netherlands. There's a Dutch court ruling that everyone knows that bicyclists run red lights, so if a motorist hits one of these idiots, they are liable. A niece of mine ran a red light, got hit, and got paid all her expenses and damages. Best part: She ran a red light on a crossing where people drove 80 km per hour, and she was no stranger to that crossing either.

He’s done it again

Excellent work fish. Best yet

thank you matt!

love the song

I would think that in terms of the riding rules, assuming you don't take any time to go by rule summaries or pamphlets, if you're alone, you'd just go slower and take your time to figure it out, and alternatively if you're not, and people are riding everywhere around you, you'd kind of stick to the herd in a direction, and mimic them till you figure it out. Plus it seems that people ride slower there anyway, unlike myself on typical rides I make. That might take some getting used to right there.

One person per bike???NO!Not in the Netherlands..Two persons on one bike is absolutely possible.

traffic💀💀💀

Biking in the center ofAmsterdam is hard for everyone. I would rather walk,much more safe and less stressful.

Police dont care if ur running a red light as a biker, as long as it's not at a busy intersection. Plus you need carrier on bicycle in case you need to give someone a ride. but most importantly look behind you when overtaking someone on biking lane
