The first sentence of this video lol. Thats the only windmill in the whole of Zwolle FFS

I am full of envy of this place. I am from a hot place. Cycling is not a pleasure especially with very heavy traffics. Cars choked up the streets and everyone look so pathetic stuck in traffic jams. The Dutch are smarter.

I think that Eindhoven and Velsen seem like the best nominees this year! Thanks for this comparison between all the nominees, it is very useful - perhaps your best set of videos to date!

such a good city for bikers , that we can see the ambulances on the background

I'm not so sure about the "fietsstraat". So far I've encountered only one (Dorpsstraat in Castricum). To me it felt like I was holding up traffic and had cars right up my rear wheel, so I ended up letting them pass me. It kinda looks like the fietsstraat uses the cyclist as a way of slowing traffic. This might work in some places, but shouldn't those places be 30km/h zones with low traffic already? When more fietsstraten are implemented there are bound to be places where it's not appropriate and cyclists will get more issues with cars. This is my view, but I guess time will tell as they're so new.

Here in Zwolle, cars can easily bypass cycle lanes. They are a bike-friendlier alternative in most cases.

Same in Hilversum. I Personally think the fietsstraat is more dangerous then a normal street because cardrivers don't understand the fietstraat.

I know this street. Dorpsstraat is a very bad example of a fietsstraat. It used to be the main road through Castricum for centuries, and it basically still is. Putting up signs and changing the road surface is not enough. This street should be blocked for cars somewhere in the middle, so it can only be used by residents or visitors.

The only places even remotely approaching this standard on the uk are Stevenage and Milton Keynes and neither are any where near as pleasant.

Zwolle😍😍😍

Like!

hahahaha Hilarious, Cycle lanes are relics although they are novelty in many parts of the world... Also I've noticed dutch roads tend to be narrow roughly 1 or 2 lanes also on street parking seems to be uncommon, Am I wrong? parking is the biggest complaint of car drivers in my city, funny they say that they don't see the paint when parking but fortunately is very rare to have people invading them while driving.

Many roads in The Netherlands have been narrowed. For instance 3-lane one-way road where once quite common in Dutch cities. They all disappeared. Sometimes they were replaced by a 2-lane, 2-way road, in one case I know by only 1 lane of traffic for cyclists only with occasional access for cars (an example in the city of Groningen. A for car parking, Many streets have car-parking. But along mayor roads car parking is avoided.

Zwolle should have a Statue of Leo major who solo captured the town back from the nazis

nothing special about this, I drove from Zwolle to Goes in Zealand in one day, all over bike paths... right through Rotterdam,,

vast majority of the world is on motor traffic. This type of infrastructure is only applicable to if the vast majority are on non motorized vehicles.😎

this type of infrastructure is the reason for so many non motorized vehicles. without it and the netherlands would have been a car infested shithole

KZread comments are buggy and annoying. This reply was meant for Philip McAdam: It's a chicken and egg problem I feel. "Build it and they will come". I am guessing that where you live not everybody is cycling because cycling is clearly not made fit for everybody. For example: if I had a ski slope next to my house, I would probably use it sometimes. But there isn't, so I don't. It really is that simple I think :)

Een fietsstraat heeft volgens mij geen juridische betekenis. Automobilisten mogen in principe gewoon inhalen.

In Nederland loopt de praktijk wel vaker vooruit op de juridische regelingen. Het is afwachten wat een rechter doet als een auto een fietser aanrijdt bij een inhaalbeweging op een fietsstraat. Maar aangezien de fietser de zwakkere verkeersdeelnemer is zou dat ook zonder juridische betekenis van de fietsstraat zeer wel in het voordeel van de fietser kunnen uitpakken. De meeste automobilisten nemen dat risico niet en daarmee zal in de praktijk weinig ingehaald worden op fietsstraten en dat is ook precies wat met de borden "auto is te gast" beoogd wordt.

Volgens mij kijkt de rechter vooral naar de wetgeving. Overigens vraag ik mij af of het niet inhalen zo goed is. Eén langzame fietser houdt een auto op, daarachter zullen fietsers dan de auto moeten inhalen om sneller te kunnen.
