[Ep. 1024] I walked for an hour in the centre of The Hague and filmed as people passed me by on a bicycle. Of all trips in The Hague (the Netherlands), 31% are made on a bicycle, but 39% are made on foot. (KiM, 2023) More information in the blog post: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p=25557

Watching this just a day after returning from Holland feels like the place is calling me come back soon.
Looking forward to visiting on my tandem with a friend in July 🙂 The couple at 2:15 are adorable.
Ik wil graag terug naar het land van fietsen 😍
2:20 Is this kind of cargo bike (DHL) seen in other countries?
Wonderful video sir, that's called nachural sound, no music,
Keep it up
Very nice riding, friend
Cool my home town! I used to live 5 min away from where that final shot was taken and my mom used to work at that building to the left.
Why does this 1080p video look like it's 480p?
I am happy ,if you happy to
The mobility routes around the central station is one of the worst in design in the entire country. Especially for bicycles, and far too much room for cars there
I always enjoy the chaos and the bell ringing around the trams. It looks like those pre-war city films that all looks sped up.
The Hague is also the most dangerous municipality for cycling in The Netherlands. Though some wonderful cycling paths do exist (some shown in the clip), there are too many dangerous spots to create a cycling-friendly environment. A lot of parents choose to drop their kids at school (with a car). Most school routes are not safe enough for kids between 8 and 12 to cycle alone. The low percentage of people cycling had everything to do with the car-centric position of the municipality.
Mooie stad achtah de duine!
Makes my cortisol levels increase 😂
I ride a motorcycle in den Haag, so have to deal with the crazies.
