What an extremely biased video that just attacked everyone. It started blaming the opposition to the highway for the extremely inefficient design (really short and ending in a normal road), then it insults the city planners by not mentioning the new and more efficient highways that took over the traffic that was "filling every centimeter of the available space"

Since I first became more widely interested in the cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands, I can't get out of my mind. I hope that one day Polish city managers will come to their senses and we will have the same infrastructure in Poland.

Thank you for sharing this. It's really inspiring. I wish my country could be like this someday. By the way, maybe you could work on improving the quality of your vids a bit

I've lived in Oulu region almost all my life vut never biked in the city. I can't even recognize most of the places you showed. You've probably seen lore Oulu than i have

Nice video! One bit of feedback; I do prefer hearing the raw audio. From someone who lives in western USA, hearing quiet urban scenes in some of your videos almost makes me cry. Quiet, calm, safe urban environments look absoluetly wonderful.

In this case I'd rather take the carpool road

0:18 on the right side you can go to Tilburg, not Eindhoven actually

the truckers cafe at 15:22 is pretty good, have been there once a few months ago but know people who have been going there for decades and still say its good

men wil ook massa survailence plaatsen,en niet aleen in de stad zelf,maar ook ver daar buiten tot uiteindelijk het punt dat je toestemming moet krijgen om uberhoupt je straat en/of je 15minuten zone te mogen verlaten waar ze WEF soldaten voor zullen gebruiken al dan niet met geweld. geen autos,allemaal thuis werke,want tja you own nothing,you're under 24-7 survailence,you're forced to eat bugs,and you gonna love it

I used to live in Vilnius in 2016-17. Every time I go back, I'm amazed by how fast the city is evolving, especially the central districts. From a grey and rundown Soviet town to a modern European city, the change is real. Keep up the good job broliukai!

This really isn't a Carmel thing. It's been a north suburban, Monon corridor and Hamilton County thing. Not sure why Carmel is getting all the attention out of nowhere.

Oh, it’s the intersection they’ve recently rebuilt! kzbin.info/www/bejne/roGYk6Ohi7Oga9U

Come visit the F58 from Bergen op Zoom to Roosendaal. Just not at night, there was no money for streetlamps on part of the route

The Netherlands, one of the best Lands in the World for community services!!!!!!!!!!

The official end of 's-Hertogenbosch is at minute 17.40 ... at the bridge crossing the river Maas.... Not at minute 8.30

ah in that future route vs the current detour back in den Bosch they should put the bike path to the right of the cars on the bridge, so that you don't have to go underneath the bridge afterwards at all! because other than going through an industrial area and having a traffic light it is shorter now than that future route.

Whoah that side of station 's-Hertogenbosch is real gloomy! Why so much gray with those giant out of scale light poles?

A real "high-quality cycling route" = free of cars (08:50) and has only asphalt as pavement. It should therefor be red after 09:41 too. Crossings at 11:33 and 12:11 has be done like it should be: priority for bikes and cars have to cross "up and over". Then why the stupid one at 15:37?? The cars have to slow down for the round-about anyway! 2 cars waiting and they block the bikeroute... 15:39 Shortest bikepath of the Netherlands? A point that will get accidents for sure: Bike no priority (says sign) but cars have to give way (see roadsign on the right at 15:46). The good route stops again at 20:58 with a boing. Grey, bumpy, cracks, no lighting... And again the same stupid crossing at 22:14. 23:25 tells the story that there is still a long way to go. Rise it, make cars slow down and they will give way. Besides the detours and the part after 27:39, this route is FAR from completion! It is at a moderate 7+ quality for now. (says a biker for all of his live from the Netherlands. I have seen much worse, I admit) ((nice to see the college at 39:18 on the left is in use. I helped building it. Still some pedestrian walkways to/from the station missing... I walked it daily for 7 months))

Too bad we’re still using those shitty poles to deter cars, they’re very dangerous…

The section 'Orthen' is such a nice bit. (7:00 to 8:30)

15k on an e-bike is so easy. I really hope this gets more people out of their cars and onto their bikes for this journey!

All props should go to Mayor Brainard. Period. His decision to build roundabouts made all the difference. That is what made it possible.

@bicycledutch ik kijk graag naar je fietstrips naar zou je alsjeblieft eens die rammelfiets van de hand willen doen? Het geluid van dat los zittende spatbord en het geratel van je kettingkast storen enorm de beleving. Op Marktplaats kan je voor 200 euro al een knappe fiets vinden.

i'm infinitely jealous

27:46 eww

Thank you very much for the interesting insights on bicycle planning in the Netherlands!

Superbe... we can only dream of this in my own country where the car is king, bicycle paths like this unheard of, and zero funding for bike paths and pedestrians. In Aotearoa you take your life in your hands every time you ride your bike. It will have to change, but no way in next 2 to 3 years, and even then we know it will be slow.

Effectively this goes on to Culemborg. Culemborg itself is a bit of a mess, but it's not too hard to reach Utrecht from there. I just don't see an easy route that's convenient.

23:25 Bleep... 😊

Helloo, we're are the same, Cyclo Santiago Chile,(-the editing), really enjoy your content.. just makes me whant to visit cycle friendly comunities.. Regards Ganzo

Perfect viewing for a below 0° evening in Michigan, thanks for sharing

bike lanes are only for cars! we should not accept them if possible!

for some odd reason if the US resorted back to being a true confederated republic...you would have places in some states like this, others would be different. and it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Ik heb ook in de Govert Flinckstraat gewoond in de jaren '70. Er werd heel veel afgebroken en mensen verhuisden naar de polder waar ze een huis met een tuin, cv en een douche konden huren/kopen. Dat was er, behalve geen buitenspeel mogelijkheden, allemaal niet in oude huurwoningen destijds.

Y'all ever feel the bridge shake or vibrate when going over it?

I really don't understand the comments saying this is better than Copenhagen. In Copenhagen the bicycle lanes are *car lane wide*, with a curb seperating them from pedestrians and the car lane. Slower cyclists can easily be passed, and two people can cycle beside each other comfortably. The impression is given that on many streets which before were two car lanes in each direction, one car lane in each direction has been converted to a bicycle lane. This appearance is really that you matter as a cyclist. Reducing car space in favor of other modes of transport is how you massively improve a city. Compare this to Malmö, where the bicycle path always (?) is on the pavement, even on streets where there are two car lanes in each direction. Often only a painted line as "separation" from the pedestrians, as unfortunately is the norm in Sweden (I am Swedish). There are plenty of streets in Malmö with two lane car traffic in each direction. I feel like in Copenhagen those streets would have only one car lane in each direction and wide bike lanes instead. There really are a lot of cars in Malmö, you don't get the feeling that reducing car space has been done much at all.

Bike of death

As more tunnels are built I guess there is more need for more gears on bikes :-). These tunnels are our Dutch Mountains kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoHcmo1_lLyljtk

Lot of pedestrians on that bicycle path.....

So if this is a "bad" commuter city by Dutch standards, is the rent or housing costs actually cheaper than Utrecht/Amsterdam? I might attend university in Amsterdam and was curious about this city that looks nice from Google Maps.

I love how all the municipitalities really went out of their way to decorate these dark days. It seems like an illogical investment, since I doubt there'd be many studies proving it curing depression. However, I love it so much

I'm wondering why the USA used red for part of the construction. White makes sense to me, because it absorbs the least heat, but I'm imagining the red color serves another function as well

If the road is pink..., it is a bike road where cars are allowed as guests.

I like how the supporting poles look like fishing ship masts and rigging, it fits in well with the fisher-boy statue. Hints at a historic small fishing-boat harbor.

It's so quiet.

So quite. Bikes and the occasional train moving hundreds of people the where they want to go. No drama. No road rage. That guy cycling with a lance is a bit worrying though.

I remember when it was a new bridge in the middle of nowhere, when the current Eemplein was an empty field and the area across from it was dilapidated warehouses. Back then it was still useful for longer distance cycling from the station to the North-East on that side of the railroad tracks.

Prachtige beelden. ❤❤❤

Sign shows 2006. Is that when it was built?

I really wish I could just move to Amsterdam.
