Ride through Rosmalen and 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands

[@Sinnegeiets]

Just got the keys of my new apartment in de Groote wielen and see this video pop up in my feed, loved watching it and can't wait to see what this neighborhood will be like in a few years.

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

Nice landscaping at Groote Wielenplas - but I hope they plan to plant a few more trees! Lovely ride through the outskirts of Den Bosch - its a very pleasant city and I always enjoy visiting. The infrastructure is always improving.

[@Alby_Torino]

Very enjoyable as always. The fact that Dutch law allows ICE mopeds on bike ways and not electric scooters is mind blowing. Greetings from Italy

Just another day in this country my friend..

[@FrietjeOorlog]

Better than most places? Sure. A paradise? Depends on how closely you look. Terms and conditions may apply ;)

Hello! Regarding infrastructure for bikes yes! ​@@FrietjeOorlog

[@TOMESHTI]

Beautiful trip!

[@AlexK-yr2th]

Nice video. Very relaxing from a Dutch guy living abroad. Maybe an idea to shoot a video where you go in and out of the many, many narrow street in the Old inner city and explain where everything goes. Looking forward to that.

[@paolagrando5079]

I love the "wiggles" and thanks for the explanation. It appears that I'm a bit Dutch because I like to know why things are done in a specific way. 😊 (If reading this confuses you and you want to know why I wrote this check the blog in the description 📦. Lots of interesting things in there)

[@papaya8634]

I would like to not only get displayed the name of the street, but also from time to time naming useful places while passing them. Like "housing area", "supermarket", "business district" "nature with hiking trails" ... That could bring out that even though it is a 30 minutes ride from point A to point B, bike infrastructure can also provide really fast access from and to useful destinations.

[@Paul_C]

Guess those who live there know that. Maybe read the article?

[@LarsvanderHeide]

Did you put that fence back correctly at 16:40 ? :D

[@BicycleDutch]

No. I did cycle straight-on in the first take, but that led me through a building site. Filmed the rest in a new version the following day. In the mean time the fence had been put back.

[@krzysztof1700]

Wow, aż trudno uwierzyć, że coś takiego ma miejsce... 😢 W 22:10 widzimy, jak samochód wyjeżdża na drogę rowerową i blokuje ruch 🚴‍♂🚗. Jak się okazuje, to polski pojazd i kierowca. Nie spodziewałem się polskiego akcentu w najgorszym wydaniu na tym filmie. Niestety, tak wygląda codzienność w Polsce - brak szacunku dla zasad ruchu, w szczególności pieszych, rowerzystów... Ręce opadają 😔💔

[@Sinnegeiets]

The driver made an honest mistake and had no other option than turning around. Most Polish people in the Netherlands are friendly, quiet and peaceful.

[@PendelSteven]

15:49 aka the normal cycpling path in Zeelandic Flanders (mostly), somehow. I mean, we are Netherlands as well. Do something about it already. It's like more than half of the region is "temporary two-way cycling". It feels like "permanently two-way cycling". With all the cargobikes nowadays it's hard to pass eachother sometimes.

[@flyguy1237]

What is the squiggle in the bike road at 2:40? Is it traffic calming for bicycles? Making the road longer for bicycle queues when cars pass?

[@BicycleDutch]

Explained in the blog post. See link in the description box.

[@FrietjeOorlog]

De hangplek van de lokale scootertokkies is blijkbaar daar midden op het fietspad? En dat Poolse busje maakt het ook erg bont op een fietsstraat.

[@reneolthof6811]

Dat Poolse busje op de Van Berckelstraat (fietsstraat) had mijns inziens geen alternatief. Hij mag namelijk niet de Van Berckelstraat in en ook niet de Kasterenburg over de Zuid-Willemsvaart over. Er rest dus weinig anders dan keren in de fietsstraat en daarna zijn weg vervolgen langs ‘De Kanaal’ in de richting van ons nieuwe museum in het voormalige Kruithuis!

[@FrietjeOorlog]

@@reneolthof6811 Hij had wel wat beter mogen kijken naar de fietsers achter zich.

[@reneolthof6811]

@@FrietjeOorlog Ik kan met deze beelden niet echt waarnemen dat hij niet gekeken zou hebben. Ook in een fietsstraat moeten fietsers zelf ook altijd opletten. Wat vooral opmerkelijk is hoe hij sowieso in die positie terecht kwam voorafgaand aan het beeld van Bicycle Dutch. Dat lijkt mij inderdaad het resultaat van een foutieve actie. Ik kom dagelijks over deze weg en je ziet er de gekste fratsen van automobilisten die de verkeersregels rondom de Kasterenburg regelmatig aan hun laars lappen!

[@MrHenkkkie]

@@FrietjeOorlog Dat Poolse busje deed het netjes. Hij had ook bewust door kunnen rijden ondanks de geslotenverklaring, maar kiest ervoor om zijn fout te herstellen. De bus keert voorzichtig en langzaam. De vrouw is uitgestapt en waarschuwt de aankomende fietsers en bedankt ze ook nog eens. 10x beter dan die automobilisten die maar 1 kant opkijken bij een tweerichtingenfietspad

[@LarsvanderHeide]

Any plans to redesign the crossing at 22:50 ? Over a minute of waiting time...

[@BicycleDutch]

Yes. Construction of the road I cross there is ongoing. I believe the lights will be removed soon. At first it would be a roundabout but that has been postponed.

[@TheHoveHeretic]

Intrigued by the solar PV installations on lamp posts along Hovepad. Can anyone please explain the operation of the system they're a part of, please?

[@paolagrando5079]

7:04 and 7:40 is that permitted?

[@LarsvanderHeide]

They are allowed to drive there (it's actually the designated path for 'bromfietsen', see the sign at 6:22 ) but they (like all other road users) are not allowed to obstruct traffic.

[@paolagrando5079]

@@LarsvanderHeide ok. Do those path have a speed limit?

[@LarsvanderHeide]

@@paolagrando5079 I had to look this up and did not know this but this shared bromfietspad (used by regular bicycles & by mopeds (max. 45 km/u)) does have a speed limit for mopeds of 30 km/u inside city limits and 40 km/u outside city limits. This speed limit only applies to mopeds. On my road bike for example I can ride any speed (say 40 inside city limits) if I want and be not at fault (as long as it does not endanger other road users). The reason for this is that regular bicycles don't have speedometers I guess.

[@oldbrokenhands]

7:39 when did they make a Mad Max sequel in the Netherlands?

[@laurent.pietri]

Strava ? Komoot ? gpx ?

[@NZVideoMaker]

Time to upgrade to a 4K camera? watching even the 14,400 resolution on other videos looks pretty good.

[@BicycleDutch]

My gopro8 can film in 4K but then the stabilisation is not as good as it is now. I choose stabile over sharp. Added bonus, people are not so easily recognisable.

[@ungh8365]

What is that van doing :D 22:15

[@Brozius2512]

It has a foreign license plate, so I guess he's confused where to go!

[@thompson121]

Don't really care for the motorcycles on the trai. is there a lot of battery-powered electric bikes there?

[@Alby_Torino]

If you mean pedelec bicycles, yes many, if you means electric mopeds and motorcycles, around 100k.

[@paolagrando5079]

"The new bridge for c&w was finished too soon" I suppose you don't have umarells in the Neatherlands. They are the pentioners who enjoy spending time looking at worksite workers and giving them advice. You find many of them in Italy 😅

[@dammitdan106]

More sane than Amsterdam.

[@MrAronymous]

Amsterdam has these kinds of neighbourhoods as well. Don't blame your lack of knowledge on Amsterdam.

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

@@MrAronymous As most tourists are less likely to go to the suburbs of the city (or indeed any tourist-centric city) then it is, I think, a reasonable comment. We should remember that its not always a pleasant experience being a pedestrian in Amsterdam or Utrecht during the very busy hours or on weekends.

[@paolagrando5079]

"Dutch people are notorious for not following rules or regulations" Oh, I wasn't aware. I've got the wrong impression. Silly me 😸

Overtaking on the right of a hesitating cyclist isn’t very wise…

[@jelle4232]

To give some context. The person he’s overtaking is riding towards the middle line and is nearing a bicycle ‘intersection’. I looks like he’s looking behind. When cyclists in the Netherlands do this, they usually want to turn left. Overtaking on the right is the appropriate thing to do if you don’t want to slow down 😊. I hope this helps you understand Dutch biking etiquettes a bit better. Let me know if you have any questions 😊

[@baxobapo]
