I like how even when there are so many cyclists, they don't seem to slow each other down. If every one of those was driving, even two to a car, people would get in each others' way and everyone would be stuck in traffic
Bicycle is my preferred mode of transport in my super crowded city in Mumbai. I don't care my city has no dedicated bicycle lanes because I pedal with the traffic if not faster . I save a considerable amount of time and enjoy see people wasting their time and resources.
Brilliant. In the summer months I try to cycle to work sometimes, it’s only 7 miles, but it’s so dangerous with the main roads I have it cross, the ‘cycle paths’ are in extreme need of repair and too narrow to be sharing with others. 😢
Gorgeous! Looks almost like my part of Warsaw, and I commute on a bike, too 😃 I only wish the car traffic on my route was lighter, just like on your video – I wouldn't have to hold my breath in tunnels… I have a question – do Dutch bike lanes have speed limits? Here in Poland, Central Europe (please remember we're not Eastern) bike lanes usually move at a significantly faster pace…
It's almost agonising how far my city (Perth) is from this level of cycling infrastructure and culture. About half my commute is cycling on the unprotected shoulder of 50kph roads 🙁 We're slowly getting better though!
It’s so depressing watching this and seeing how far behind the UK is. We need to get to the point where it’s the norm for all local journey to be via a bike, walking, scooter or public transport.
It’s impossible for me to cycle with my children unless I take them on a road with HGVs or down rat run roads with cars parked on both sides. My only option is to cycle on the pavement which I do and technically am doing so illegally. This video is what all towns and cities should be aspiring to become.
wow i dream of the day i dont have to ride in gutter lanes, check over my shoulder for overtaking cars every 5 seconds, getting sprayed by lorries, navigate confusing bike turnoffs and crossings
There is a fascinating theory that, of all man made manufactured industrial products in history, the bicycle is the only one that, if aliens came to Earth and there were no traces of humanity at all, that by studying it, they could understand how human bodies were physiologically, like two articulated lower limbs that were attached to a torso that rested on the saddle, and two upper limbs with fingers that manipulated the breaks and gear levers. And, deducing, of course that a "head" of some sort had to be attached to the top of everything. If we think about it, there is no other machine made by humans that allow for this.
That looks so adorable in some way. I wonder how common stealing bikes is in The Netherlands? That's what prevents me from riding a bike in a big city in Poland the most…
This is just surreal. All the large universities here in the U.S. (especially those with a large commuter population) are surrounded by this enormous wasteland of car parking. I'm so envious of your country's cycling culture.

Nice a fellow CS student 🙂

There's something so relaxing about cycling
why am I watching this
Lol not a single helmet spotted
Couldn't work here in the UK as we have too many stupid pedestrians wandering around with their earphones on, not looking where they are going.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it. Does anyone see the commonality of the cyclists? Look close.

It actually looks fun to live there. It feels very person focused and its very beautiful

Awesome video, cheers 😊

Too much traffic, So you cant go fast :/
Just imagine all of those people went by car. How much traffic jam they would have…

I prefer the American model where everyone is in a car except me then I don't have to deal with other cyclists in my way.
Hey, that’s my university!
Without heavy traffic even the air feels cleaner through the screen lol
Looks like just another day in the suburbs of Copenhagen 🙂 should have shown center of Amsterdam
wow i dream of the day i dont have to ride in gutter lanes, check over my shoulder for overtaking cars every 5 seconds, getting sprayed by lorries, navigate confusing bike turnoffs and crossings
And to think in America, every single one of these people would each be driving their own car. "Freedom".
Do people lock up their bikes?
4:21 cyclists ignoring the official route en masse is an indication that the design of this intersection could me improved.
I don't see a lot of e-bikes. I love riding my e-bike in Germany.
This is what civilized living and commuting looks like.
This is definitely how it should be.
Damn. It's so peaceful. I like it a LOT
No cursing, no shouting – completely unthinkable in Germany! What’s going wrong in the Netherlands? 😂
what do they do if it rains?
That was lovely, dude!
Some people ride like monkeys. Rules or smart behavior? No, I haven't even heard of it.
Now imagine all these cyclists in cars, like in most cities in the world
Awesome….Wish i too want to RIDE my Bicycle..here…(50 yrs of cycling n Still Riding it…Happy to see this on YOUTUBE…)..
Hee it's Delluft!

Very nice video! I love it!!!
What a shitshow. Poor pedestrians. I wouldn't like even to visit a city like this.
That fork stem. Mmmm
That looks so adorable in some way. I wonder how common stealing bikes is in The Netherlands? That's what prevents me from riding a bike in a big city in Poland the most…
Imagine having all these people in their own cars
This is lovely! It scares me that people don’t wear helmets though 😢

Wish we had this here in Portugal. Too bad my country is still so car-brained
Oh wow! How calming is this!!!
You know a city is bike friendly when people bike without wearing sports attire.
