3:57 Yep, markings can be very slippery, leaves are another thing to watch out for. You can make a turn by shifting your weight or turning the steer, when cycling over a slippery surface use the steer! Otherwise the pavement will teach you to not change you center of gravity.

17:20 They're singing "Happy Birthday" in Dutch (literal translation "Long he shall live, Long he shall live, in all Glory...".

0:56 Dude shifted to the UK but still carries his brain-rotten American ignorance about tech and still believes Apple's crappy phones are superior. Fascinating.

Reference the seat height as a life long cyclist from the age of 6 to retirement at 66 the best height for the saddle is mid way between a full leg stretch on the down stroke of the pedal or a 90 degree on the upstroke. If you start long distance cycling you could alternate between the two to see for your self which you prefer. Tony in Essex.

6:03 it's not meant to be mixed-use but you will never get a fine if you walk on the bike path. just don't block to much of the lane and no one will care.

Ahh its Liz, the owner of Brenda's chippy ❤❤

Let's just say that you didn't visit us at our best time. Big parts of the city centre are in the process of redevelopment, e.g. all the area between Fargate, Barker's Pool and The Moor, so lots of businesses are either closed or looking a bit worse for wear. Hopefully when they've finally finished it'll return to something approaching normal.

Cars and guns. Excellent point

You just blindly riding into roads you’re not allowed to is very accurate tourist behaviour

This was his "Dr. Mike on a yacht" moment… And the defense argument, OMG: like, "you have to flow with the traffic". I'm not aware of any law that states that you can go over the speed limit if the traffic does. But I'll happily read (I love that shit) any US Code (or State Code) that says so. If the speed limit is, say, 120, it's that, and if the whole fucking world around you goes 200, 120 still remains the speed limit.

I did that back in 2013

On the trainprice, dutchies usually plan far ahead, which mean the trainprices are gonna be under 100€ Especially if you are flexible with the day/time. I usually go by eurostar for 45 or 50€ I think thats why you got so many comments on it

No fun watching someone whinge and tell bad jokes during what should be a pleasant bike ride... , also it hurts my eyes to watch a fish-eye lense video for 15mins.

Why is afternoon tea always so weak, i always feel like some extra tea leaves in my pocket?😊

You very well pronounced Utrecht and as a Dutchy I really liked your video.

17:10 They were singing happy birthday to someone. No idea why they were doing it in the middle of the street but hey to each their own :P

you should have taken the route along the river Vecht. That is so pretty!

I never use the bike bell. People only use it when they’re blocked from passing.

It's a COB not a bap!

The little garden at the side of “manahatta.”Before the fancy pantsy artwork. Is where all the alcoholics used to congregate for many years… but now it’s to “posh” for them to be allowed there.😂

I mean 90+ is a bit excessive, but watching the actual clip and seeing the road he is on, it looks like a back road through some woods, not some town/city residential street next to a school. the kids sign might be there due to a school bus stop, but it did not look like a place where children would be playing, next to a road in the middle of nowhere woods

While its wrong I think alot of persons don't know the situation around it: 1) was it a Saturday without children being there at all 2) Could he clearly see that there's no one around 3) Is the school still open and functional

You can just say sorry instead of Entschuldigung 🤣 In Dutch we also say sorry.

What a load of crap go home mate.

More from Mr. "Speak with a mouthful of food" guy. 🤮

About entering a zebra crossing on a bicycle with pedestrians, today I nearly caused an accident for a bicyclist with a child on the back by not paying attention to where I was walking in Green Park. I thought I was on the pedestrian path but was on the cycleway. I realised this and stepped toward the grass at the same time a woman passed me at speed with her child on the back and we nearly collided. We both had a fright, and I apologised. She did as well, but honestly she wasn't at fault. I felt absolutely horrible as I envisioned what could've happened to both her and her child. It's not only cyclists and drivers who need to watch out. Pedestrians can cause accidents by not watching where they are going and by jaywalking as well. What Marcus did was even more dangerous. Everyone needs to watch out for each other and obey the rules of the road. For my part, it's safe to say that I'll be much more vigilant in the future. Lesson learned. I'm so glad no one was hurt either in my situation or in this one.

I am Sheffield born and bred and I will tell you that no one from here would ever say Sheffield is the Midlands! It is in the north and every single person from this beautiful city is 100% northern!

don't let the virtue signaling get to you.. a lot of Dutch people are a lot of " do as I say, not as I do" whores

🤣🤣you got a scrapey from your "bike accident" ? Just let it air out, no need to bandage that, it'll heal much quicker that way. Besides, "war wounds" from cycling is all part of the game. Toughen up, cowboy ! Keep on cycling 💪

I use the bell only when the path is to small to easily pass, like a one way road our when on the otherside their are either cars/ other bikers

How much did you pay the Agency for your first date.

Hilversum is definitely not a small town... It's pretty big by our standards. All major radio and tv stations are located there as well.

I do not engage with his views. His consumerist anti-ecological pro capitalist motion is an evil. Sure the guy may be fine but the attitudes and behaviours it engenders are gross and counter human.

Sheffields history of contibuting to the creation of electronic music cannot be underestimated. I bow down in reverance to its contribution. Google it ❤❤

Is it usually quite windy there? Is it usually difficult to play tennis there?

Utrecht is a city and not a town

I thought I saw a basket or rack, and was bemused to then hear about your heavy backpack. Get that weight off your back. Bungee cords are your best friend :-)

They were singing happy birthday XD

3:50 as a guy who rides motorcycles, yeah we avoid white lines like the plague, let alone when it rains. Edit: oh yeah, we also drive like the other drivers are actively trying to kill you, safest mentality.

It looked like a lovely day for a cycling trip.

17:13 They're singing the Dutch version of "Happy Birthday to you": "Lang zal hij leven" (he shall live long). According to common wisdom, you were indeed sitting a little high on the bike, but not problematically so, imo. This is my preferred seating height as well over, probably, well over 100k regular pushbike kilometres and I've had no issues with my knees. Get a second opinion/re-check on that. An undiagnosed knee problem manifested itself whilst cycling for my godfather as well. Most E-bikes I've tried, even on their lowest assist level, feel like I'm pedalling into the void most of the time, like the chain has come off and the crank is not really connected to the back wheel, unless I start going at stupid speeds for regular bicycle paths here in Belgium. While going 30-40km/h on asphalted bike highways (as we call them) is ok, I feel that's too quick for regular, sidewalk style bicycle paths, where the only diffence between the pedestrian bit and the cycle bit is the colour of the paving stones (that's if the cycle path has been repaved in pink from when it was originally put in, that is... a lot of them aren't).

next time you are in sheffield, go to an area called woodseats, find a chippy called woodseats fisheries, theres traffic lights outside it, go there and get chips, then scraps and a large plain sausage, thank me later edit: nevermind u went to brendas lol still cooked the same as woodseats lol

Sheffield Steel. is the best for steel knives and forks and anything steel Quality.

QUALITY.

The singing. At the end.. Was a' birthday song. For the one. That has a' birthday party🎈🎁.. Liked the video. Hope your knee" recover soon!"..🫡

Never trust a woman who wears odd socks. Clearly a communist.

Ah that church you heard in Utrecht has been under construction for a looooong time, so you’re lucky to see it without all the building stuff :)

He drove a 1-2 ton vehicle 90 mph in a 35 mph zone in a neighborhood with people walking. Your friends rode a bike. Which one do you think will be more likely to murder someone? You an him are not the same. And on the expressway, you were not in a neighborhood with lots of people who could be walking across the road. He was. I was hit by a car as a kid, but imagine if the driver hit me at 90 mph? I would have been salsa on the pavement. This guy is a MASSIVE douchecanoe.

He's a rich asshole. He'll get away with it. What a shmuck. He could have killed someone. It's one thing to do that on an expressway with no people on it. It's another thing to do it in a neighborhood with kids that's a 35 mph zone. I have been a huge fan of his EV videos. But this is just insane. He could have killed someone. That's awful. Why couldn't he go on a private track? He has enough money. I fuck up too, but not this. I don't drive 90 mph in a 35 mph zone.

12:21. i rode there every day from school. you're supposed to ride on the other side. which I hope you did. I havent seen yet. it is a weird roundabout but where you are standing leads to Utrecht overreact which is close by and you go through a beautiful area. the path I think you're gonna take goes over a hill with a huge even more confusing roundabout.
