Bike ride in Alkmaar

[@JustRideZipp2001]

Such an incredible bicycle infrastructure, it's bicycle paradise.

[@simpleton7]

There are a lot of examples of much better standards on this channel, There were a few times where somebody with a hand-cycle or cargo bike would have been challenged due to width, and there's quite a few lights. So if this is incredible you should see the likes of Houten and Groningen!

[@priscilaloha]

Darth Vader it's you? 🤣 2:37

[@Bahutpaisaamerahochuka]

Agreed! Its a paradise

[@xorxzorz6995]

A dark and windy day but somehow still inviting. I like that entrance door thresholds to buildings are at ground level, no stairs to climb to get inside. Makes life easier for people like me.

[@AnishKumar-es1xr]

This is so peaceful. I could only imagine riding my bike on a peaceful path like this. not in my city, roads here are made for gas guzzling and noisy vehicles. there's no infrastructure for safe cycling as of now. *sigh*

[@dave.c42]

Really enjoy these videos. My city has been adding to our bicycle infrastructure making it easier to ride safely in a still very car dominated environment. For the first time I started riding to work. It amazes me the things I see while riding that I missed when I drive. Much more peaceful commute.

[@prallenpradhan]

Definitely a nice ride indeed. Beautiful country with designated bike lane. Cheers.

[@imajeenyus42]

I'm curious - is it mandatory to use the lights on a controlled crossing, or is it acceptable to cross without using them if there's no traffic? For example at 2:02?

[@xFD2x]

It's mandatory. Although, in this situation you might see a lot of cyclists going through the red light, and I doubt the police would do anything about it when they see you going through the red light. When you don't hinder other traffic in any way, there is hardly anyone annoyed about that behavior.

[@xcrementlord6779]

If the police isn't busy they will talk to you if you cross with a red light. So always check for any cops around and then go ;)

[@stonezone9670]

That red light is meant for the fire station next to it, nothing ever comes out of it during normal traffic hours so most people just cross with a red light

[@marktrvls1218]

Looks like a very nice bike ride

[@keremmoral6913]

Hello...What kind of bike do you have while you were riding?Best wishes from İzmit city/Turkey.

[@BicycleDutch]

The blue and yellow bike you can see in the end-shot. These rental single speed bikes with back pedal brakes are of the shared bike system of the Dutch Railways.

[@keremmoral6913]

Ok...thanks alot.

[@keremmoral6913]

Mean while,I live in İzmit /Turkey you know.I advice a video from İzmit bike road."IZMIT SEKA PARK BİSİKLET YOLU "Watch that video if you wish.

[@maxnewts]

BicycleDutch aah that would be the trusty ov fiets

[@greencrt399]

This town looks so idyllic and peaceful! You can see that it's built for people, not for cars.

[@juncedan]

What camera do you use for your recordings? The image is very stable. Keep it up! I love your channel

[@vanreliant5584]

That's a grand surface you have to ride on there, the shared cycle paths were I live the tarmac was layed and levelled with a pickaxe I think

[@StewartMidwinter]

I would love to see you Recording your rides with the Garmin camera, since we will see the direction you're heading, as well as speed and distance. As it is, it's very hard to follow your twists and turns.

Nice trip!

[@indonesiabagus]

Very nice ...

[@albernal6653]

loved it! One little almost mishap did u see it? I would guess 12 mph. It gets u there

[@famBA-ik7oy]

Oh mijn god aan het eind van de filmpje zie ik wat voor fiets een zware ov fiets zonder versnelling jij moet een topconditie hebben

[@tomashernandez965]

Amigo same l like filled like I drive your bicycle nice vintage bicycle thank you 4 shows your country

[@xyqk]

Wow only 11 minutes from station to the mare...it feels longer when im on bicycle

[@senzanome8294]

Why do people continue to walk on bicycle paths instead of the paths made for walking?

[@Erik-ou3tl]

In this video, it seem to be because either they cycle path is dual-purpose, or the sidewalk is very inconvenient for the pedestrians. I grew up in Alkmaar, and I remember doing exactly the same thing on a few of the spots featured because following the sidewalk was a detour. in other videos/cities, it is likely that the people walking on the bicycle path are tourists that don't know any better.

[@mourlyvold7655]

Besides, we don't really get hysterical about rules in general. Most people know what they're doing and behave accordingly. We didn't witness horrible situations in this video, did we?

[@gayyouht2351]

What a great city Alkmaar especialy the Red Light district Achterdam The Netherlands!!!

[@alexmorgan3435]

When I die and go to heaven I want it to be Holland.

[@xorxzorz6995]

Eric van Bakel Thanks that's good to know.

[@mourlyvold7655]

Don't worry, you don't have to die to visit...

[@Bahutpaisaamerahochuka]

I think u halted directly when u reached right nonstop If i have yo ride here i get down 10 times in 1 hour Coz ppl ride bikes full speed on a cycle path even cars at times on cycle path if there is no border made on the cycle path like no barrier to separate it Its tiring 1 hour travel not coz of cycling bt pollution honking irritation waiting for signals on cycle pathe as cars ha e blocked it oooh bt this video enjoyed thouroughly As i was riding there in my mind!

[@MR.UNKNOWN208]

Thats my city where i live in

[@MrEscen]

Nobody is perfect ;)

[@Wollenschrank]

I'm sorry for you.

[@xorxzorz6995]

The parks and green spaces are pretty. I would love it there.

[@davidcraig4543]

There seems to be very little population , maybe the population has moved elsewhere , I will say it's obvious its not in the UK as the cyclists appears to be obeying traffic lights etc .

[@marcushusky388]

It's a small town in north-holland, 60.000 people.

[@famBA-ik7oy]

Je rijdt sneller als een elektrische fiets je rijdt sneller als een ligfiets mijn god wat voor fiets rijdt jij??????

[@johanwittens7712]

Dat is ook mijn tempo als ik fiets hoor en ik rijd met een doodgewone mountainbike...;)

[@JL-zw7hi]

Het is een ov fiets

[@petergfrazier]

09:46 Bad! Passing on the left when the cyclist ahead is signaling a left turn: no way.

[@inepthabit]

Not bad at all, the cyclist couldn't turn left yet because of the oncoming cyclists anyway. Also, she isn't even allowed to turn left there technically, that's not a cycle path.

[@albernal6653]

yeah I saw that too and commended on it. see above

[@HansVerburg]

I'm pretty sure nobody it that scene even gave it a thought. If anybody, it's the lady taking the turn who is in the wrong for not looking behind her before starting to signal. What do you think he should have done?

[@martijnvv8031]

Only bad thing was that she didn't look over her shoulder....

[@johanwittens7712]

@@HansVerburg Hmm In a car it's the other way around. You are not allowed to overtake someone who is signalling to make a left turn. I've been cycling my whole life and always was taught this same rule translates to bikes. There is no clear official law about it in Belgium, but it seems locical and courtious to me too to let the bike who wants t turn left go first just as you'd be obligated to do if it was a car? But yes, she had to wait anyway for the oncoming traffic, so i'd have overtaken her too since i 'd know i'd be way ahead of her before she even reached the turn.... :)
