Cycling in the snow in 's-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) [235]

[@jhcfight]

It's funny to experience everytime when it has snowed a lot, that I as a cyclist arrive on time at work and others with cars are late. I think plowing through the snow on the bike is quicker than caught in a car traffic jam caused by snow.

Eu não entendi nada

[@DavidCousins]

I had to watch this one again. Beautiful city

[@riasomers642]

I visited in '87. It's gorgeous.

[@effyleven]

Quite a skill-set... riding a bicycle one-handed in the snow, with a 'brolly held up!

[@BicycleDutch]

no not yet, heated cycle paths are only just future plans so far! these paths were brushed and then a salt/liquid mixture melts the remaining snow. You can see how in this video: watch?v=H15WMfivxME

[@reynoutdecourt7983]

Mark, you are an absolute gem!

[@25inspector]

I wonder if gas prices were as high as in Netherlands in North America, people would ride their bicycles more for transportation?

[@Paul_C]

Not likely, they will proceed as before.

[@AviationMetalSmith]

Seeing this video makes me want to visit the Netherlands.

[@BicycleDutch]

The are really gritted. First the snow is brushed away and then salt is sprayed on the surface. The tyres of bicycles are too narrow to 'ride' it all away. The cleared area would never be so wide.

[@ScootOverMan]

And so many developed Countries think they are forward thinking. ha! One look at the Netherlands bicycle path system and those thoughts of other Countries is quickly squashed. I see the Netherlands are getting this soon: "A smart-road design that features glow-in-the-dark tarmac and illuminated weather indicators will be installed in the Netherlands from mid-2013" Will this include the bike paths too?

[@suus-arido393]

Looks easy right? Well trust me it isn't. I probably was born on a freaking bicycle but somehow I still manage to fall flat on my face during the winter. Really dangerous, really hurts too. But than again: I would prefer taking the bike in Groningen instead of any country where you have to wear a helmet. The idea alone makes me scared.I have a deep respect for people who can survive under such harsh environmental situations.

[@disturbed4ever2]

Put proper tires on and you wont crash

[@woutervanr]

@@disturbed4ever2 I still have to meet the first Dutch person that actually changes his/her bikes tires.

Wouter vanR heb jij geen sneeuwkettingen onder je fiets 😂

[@ShortieLeeroy]

Gets me in the mood cycling in the snow here in Germany.

[@gudriksson]

I envy you. :)) We in the city have no cycle paths.

[@Handcraftedrock]

I see no overweight people. Good for you guys. Keep on pedaling.

[@fkrr5]

No helmets either

[@Widdekuu91]

@@fkrr5 Exactly! No need for them :)

[@SoferAmator]

are those cycle paths heated?

[@limsaniful]

No, these are mostly swept and salted prior to all other roads.

[@2_Wheeled_Wolf]

Yet another example in how UK Councils view our cycling infrastructure, I've not seen any of our as clear as these. Not even the shared paths...

[@HackHunter1835]

Are hats "un cool " in that City or what. smh

[@martijnvv8031]

We are very warm people ;-)

[@woutervanr]

Most people in the vid had some headgear on. When you're riding just a few kms, it's not really a huge miss though.

Holland!3 netherlands are the best ever of the world!(allways possitif .happy.good friends. Speking good englisch france .german. ) i'm a hollander!!;)

[@limsaniful]

I bet you're kidding, aren't you?

[@Esli26]

Well, most of us can speak English and quite some can speak German and French, but most of us also don't make that much mistakes or don't try @limsaniful

[@JuBaoJu]

good video!

[@allgoo1964]

Brave souls.

[@zschollful]

looks like a lot of fun :v

[@riasomers642]

We can't even efficiently clean our roads in the US never mind bike paths as well.

Rodam zuid koomen echt waar sneeuw rodam zuid Hollanda ider jaar winter geen zon wel

[@vinilla901]

ha....this is the last worry for the UK councils...they dont care :(

[@MutiSky]

Lol, i'm from a warm country 9 months a year,but it's freezing to drive outside while raining and snow. It's great for sunny days,but not wind,snow or rain. it's just stupid.

[@h.r.c.jansen4159]

Stupid?? hahaha

[@Brozius2512]

Are you a wimp???

[@Saartje05]

Why. Do you melt? Or freeze to death? Poor thing, can't handle a bit of cold/rain
