Utrecht’s Vredenburg is the busiest cycle path in all of the Netherlands

In Utrecht you'll see the most mesmerizing site: Vredenburg carries 33,000 cyclists on an average day! 60% of trips into the city are by bike. Private cars are banned from the road, all you will see is mega helpings of people on bikes, plus pedestrians, many bus lines and the very occasional taxi (taxis aren't very popular in Utrecht.)
On the plane ride home while going thru nearly 2,000 shots I took in Amsterdam and Utrecht, I realized so much of this good footage will not figure in the final product of my mega doc from Utrecht. So I thought best to put up a fun montage using some of the best shots. After all, I tweeted just one 30 second shot of footage overhead and that was watched nearly 400K times. So I figure there are probably many thousands that would love to just sit back and watch the bicycles flow by, sometimes their operators seemingly floating in air. If you go I warn you: one night I just sat for a half an hour sans camera taking it all in.

    Not just that, but the street infrastructure needed to support them. You'd be living in a six lane hellhole of a city, if not even more (imagine everyone having their own car). Then all the noise and bad air that comes with it too. Hard to fathom how much the oil industry fooled the world for so long, and they knew in the 70s and 80s already how bad it would get.

    There are unwritten rules before you bike in The Netherlands 1. Biker is a king 2. Stay in your own lane 3. If you want to change the lane to turn, you will have to look back and give arm signal 4. Don't bike too slow 5. Don't brake out of sudden 6. if you are in the crossroad, you have to look in the eye of people who rides / walks opposite of you. So you know who is going first. And for pedestrians, please, always look right and left when you cross even in an empty street. if you violate the unwritten rules, people will shout at you "Sukkel"

    It's very difficult to make any comparison between Holland and the UK. The Dutch made the decision in the 1950s to make cycling a priority in urban areas. In the UK at the same time, the policy decision was made to create a national car road infrastructure and hence the situation we have now where vehicle drivers have the roads to themselves for 70-80 years. No wonder they don't want to give it up.

    Its only busses and its fine that area was in flux and has been redesigned again esp. the parts leading and going from that area. The busses need space since its also close/the main city busses path in the city. Its fine esp. compared to 20 years ago when normal cars where still allowed and there was only a small path. Keep in mind this as a bicycle person in utrecht i try to avoid since its the 'worst' in that its so busy. They don't make paths wider if even more is needed they change the whole road to 'bicycle paths cars are guests' they can't do that here but later on that road that has been done. bikepaths where taken out and the whole road is now bicycle path with 'cars are guests' sounds like a bad thing but given the like 10x more bicycles than cars its better. This small area can't be done like that since too many busses.

    Never seen bike racks on a bus in Europe, there's usually a largeer open compartment in the middle for bikes or strollers. I think we could redesign buses similar to how some train wagons work (here usually only a small part at either end of the train), with folding seats at the edges, facing towards the now very open middle. That way you have a lot more room in the middle for things like bikes, but you would lose about half the seating space depending on the exact design (but usage of buses is way down thanks to corona anyway).

    Not only the cycling infra is fine mazed: you can cycle to any destination you can think of - but in citys public transit is also fine mazed which means you can reach nearly every destination in the city and outskirts by tramcart, bus or train. Therefore you rarely have to take your bike with you to further your travel. City to city travel occassionaly requires you to take your bicycle with you. But most park their bike at the train station, hop on and have an other bike or other mode of transportation on the other side of the train route.
