Depending on who You ask, the Netherlands is polluted, full of drug abusers, racist or the government corrupted. In reality, compared to other countries the Netherlands is paradise.
Ik heb vier Jahre in Bremen geleeft en ken ook Oldenburg. Het levensgevoel is een beetje soortgelijk. Het is mijn indruk. Helaas, heb ik nog niet de mogelijkheid gevonden, Groningen te bezoeken en nu leef ik in Spanje. Het makt het niet makkelijker. Groetjes van een duitse buer.
Although Iam really happy to have moved from the Netherland to Ireland I am still struck by how clean Dutch cities are compared to their Irish counterparts.
I just returned from a 2 day trip to Groningen. And I come from Germany's bike city no.1, Münster. I have to say, the bikes in Groningen are annoying AF. I got almost run over 3 times despite being from a city where you have to watch out for bikes everywhere, so I'm very used to it. The fact that there are no cars in the center might be nice first, but only until you realize that bikes are silent and don'T have their own bike paths but just drive everywhere in every direction without any rules. I also took the bus which had to do an emergency braking and almost hit a cyclist who was listening to music while driving in his bike lane and just ignoring the rules. It's actually quite disgusting. And I'm also saying this as a cyclist. So no, it's not all better if it's all designed around bikes.
Im dutch and yes its a beautifull city and i love the more bikes les cars especially in the center. Nut not all cities are like these Rotterdam for example is very car-centric Most of the Randstad (Agglomeration of allot of multiple cities are actually) are quite congested with cars and yes we do have bikes and we do use them but car are also a plague I hope one day my home city of Dordrecht can be car free in the future. Tbh i really hate mopets cuz they are loud, they stink and the riders can be lazy like hell
Remember that Groningen is one of the most bike-friendly cities in The Netherlands and used to be front runner for a long time. It started banning cars from the city center in 1977 !!! also please notice all the bikes parked everywhere. Just imagine that it would all be cars, or just half of them cars.

Excellent view on Groningen. Thank you.
Mooi gefilmd, Abdullah! Gebruik je een steadycam? Heel leuk om naar te kijken.
A beatiful city .
Leuke video. Nice skills from the dude with the other bike in his hand!
Moi eem
Those mopeds are so loud! Or I guess the city itself is just quiet (compared to the UK anyway).
Mijn geboorteplaats. 45 jaar geleden vertrokken. Veel verandert. Leuk om dit te zien…
Clean country I didn't see rubbish on the street

Nice ride 👍 Thanks! 😉
I wish one day I can go to the netherlands and cycle. I live in Mexico and I am pretty sure that no one will change cities to be this way in Mexico.
Wat zou dat fijn zijn als in elk land dit mogelijk is.
Rustige dag zo te zien. Weinig scholieren en studenten. Lijkt me een vakantiedag. Groningen staat er mooi op zo!
Ook die van mij en nu vanuit 26 jaren Amsterdam weer terug. Veel is anders en vaak genoeg veel beter. Zeker voor fietsers.
23:25 – Found myself running. I remember, that was a very nice day!

Those scooters and mopeds are so Loud compared to everything else in this otherwise really calm and soothing video 👀
Lovely place, I wish that in my country there were less cars and more bikes on the streets!!
Are the people generally fit or fat?
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
Leuk dat je begint te filmen in mijn wijk!
This is what I dream everyday. It looks like a utopia
Groningen might just be the vest city in the world to live.
It's great!
