I wish everyone could live in a place like this. It’s amazing!
Ask your local transportation planner and local elected officials to support protected bike lanes and trails in your community.
Send them a copy of this video to educate them on what is possible. Join in and speak up for bicycles in your community.
Fine, you can come and visit us more often.
I really wish that the city I live in, was like those in you're great video 🙂
A "beg button" but for cars? I could faint…
My favourite Dutch bike thing is Utrecht's downtown car-free area. A close second is Groningen's car-light downtown, as shown in the video.
I am a veteran of The Royal Regiment of Canada, which fought in the Battle of Groningen in April 1945. This was part of the successful effort of 1st Canadian Army to liberate The Netherlands. To this very day, a grateful Dutch people and Royal Family sends thousands of tulip bulbs every year to Ottawa. The flowers are lovely in the spring. A fitting monument to our victory and to lasting peace in Western Europe.
So I could say that I am lucky to live here ☺not if I look at the cloudy sky full of rain ☹
Beautiful video Clarence. This is the Campbells Condensed Soup tin of bike infrastructure films. Packed full with awesomeness. And leaves you feeling warm inside. A truly inspiring way to start my day (best accompanied with porridge not soup🤣). Great edit and script.
lol… i always dreamt of living in a dystopian future…
guess what 😅 ?!
Just like a dream
Great cycling wish UK could think long term to achieve such changes
Hovenring in Eindhoven is the only floating roundabout bike bridge in the world.

They have also a Van Gogh cycle path (night, about 4 minutes in.)

And having grown up with it, it's just so normal to me. Nothing special. I am Dutch of course
It's like the blood flowing through you arteries
Next time you visit the Netherlands you have to bike tru the biggest Nature Park ‘The Veluwe’. Lots of awesome bike paths there. Thanks for this ode!
Gotta go back there sometime!!
A lovely ode to the Netherlands with a lot of my home town Nijmegen. I really enjoyed it
