Ride from Maaskantje to 's-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands)

[@LuficariusRatspeed]

That transition at 0:44 from a fietsstrook to fiestpad by merging away from the road, then crossing the road at a more acute angle is wonderful. It explains to me how I can make this work here in the US. Thank you!

[@hanneken4026]

I think it's called a jug handle in English.

[@kailahmann1823]

yep. Not really needed with this little traffic here, but when you have the space this is a good example of making things inviting for cyclists.

[@RonaldMedia]

21 minuten droog weer. Een wonder op dit moment. 😆

[@broodjelicht]

5:10 for showing infrastructure, hemelrijkstraat maybe was the better option, but you ride along a busy and noisy road (behind trees on the right). Left on kapelbergstraat is a more pleasant ride along the knooppuntenroute to the bosschebroek and join the route back @ 20:00

Ik heb een paar maanden in Nederland gefietst en dit route is niet zo goed volgens mij. Veel andere zijn beter. Maar, dit is nog beter dan hier naast San Diego, California :-) Bedankt voor jouw video's. Mijn naast reis naar Nederland komt straks, in Juli en Augustus. Ik woon tijdelijk in Bilthoven. Hoe gaat mijn amateuristische Nederlands?

[@FrietjeOorlog]

Een paar kleine foutjes, maar dit niveau is ruimschoots voldoende om met iedereen te kunnen communiceren 👍

[@jefflastofka9289]

​@@FrietjeOorlog Dank u wel. Het maakt de reis beter als ik kan mijn Nederlands oefenen. Iedereen is naar me aardig dus krijg ik veel hulp. Ja, veel foutjes. 🙂

[@AssBlasster]

Haha true the only bikeable areas in San Diego are the beach towns west of the 5 and downtown/east SD. I dont mind the ride up the PCH either with the various bike lanes built by each city in north county. Really want to stay for a month-long vacation in NL now.

[@ryn2844]

'Mijn naast reis' hoort 'mijn volgende reis' te zijn. We gebruiken 'naast' alleen als 'next to', maar niet als 'next'. De rest van de foutjes zijn niet zo'n probleem, gewoon goed te verstaan :)

[@real2rek]

Is Maaskantje a Dutch meme-city? :D

[@Benny_000]

Yes it is :) It is the home of the "New Kids", a popular show in both NL and Germany. Joost Klein also made a reference to this show in his song Europapa.

[@crashmatrix]

A bit like Trailer Park Boys, but with Dutch stereotypes

[@jptv5726]

Maaskantje en Den Dungen lijkt 1 dorp omdat ze tegen elkaar zijn aan gebouwd, maar het zijn wel 2 aparte dorpen(wel 1 gemeente).

[@RolandRides]

To be honest after 10:14 I don't understand why there is still a dashed line on both sides. There is no way one can cycle right of the line.

[@LeafHuntress]

Those are suggestion lines, they are there to make the road optically smaller for motorists to lower speed. These aren't bikepaths. Pardon, my comment^ was for the lines BEFORE that point. The lines after that point are there to signal where the side of the road is.

[@RolandRides]

@@LeafHuntress Interesting. In Germany sidelines are continuous. We have dashed "bike protection lanes" (Schutzstreifen) but they are making everything worse and more dangerous as car drivers are allowed to ignore them and also illegally don't keep 1,5m distance when they pass.

[@miles5600]

@@LeafHuntress that's not what they're for, they're there to visually narrow the road, it doesn't add anything, just makes sure people don't drive too fast.

[@miles5600]

@@RolandRides we have the dashed bike lanes too where people drive 80 and above while overtaking you with barely any space. lots of accidents happen on those roads, I know multiple people who've died or got hit on those types of rural roads, sadly even The Netherlands still has a lot of work to do, not to mention the limited amount of land the municipality is allowed to use for the road.

[@FrietjeOorlog]

Ze zullen er wel blij zijn dat de hype is overgewaaid. Het was echt een fenomeen destijds.

[@dutchman7623]

Terwijl het meeste opgenomen is in Den Dungen...

[@hondaryder3779]

Ben er toendertijd een keer met de motor door gereden, kon geen plaatsnaambord meer vinden.

[@FrietjeOorlog]

@@hondaryder3779 Idem. Ik ben er met de auto geweest en een foto genomen op de plek van de intro. Het bord was weg en waarschijnlijk al 100 keer gejat. Zucht. Ook nog een frietje gepakt bij de snackbar. Dat is nu allemaal weg.

[@dutchman7623]

@@FrietjeOorlog Het bord uit de intro heeft er nooit gestaan, daar ligt de grens niet! Maaskantje ligt iets verderop naar het oosten, de intro was in Den Dungen. Bende gij van Schijndel, jonguh?

[@FrietjeOorlog]

@@dutchman7623 Op de plek waar ze met z'n allen bij de Manta staan. Daar stond toen nog een metalen frame waar een gemeentenaambord op hoort te hangen. Dus daar de auto even geparkeerd en een foto gemaakt en weer door. Of dat de echte grens is weet ik niet. Ik was er met een kennis die de plek goed hoort te kennen maar ik was er nog nooit geweest. Het zal wel. De snackbar en dat pleintje was als het goed is wel in Maaskantje zelf. Ik heb die rooie er ook niet gezien.

[@mashedsplitz123]

Do you have an updated description of your camera setup? I found a blog from a long time ago, but I figured your setup changed from back then :)

[@Josukegaming]

Wow that route until you get to Den Bosch looks quite unpleasant, even if you have some dedicated space there's still so much loud traffic and too many roads with just painted suggestion bike lanes

[@MrDabrucru]

Heaven

[@riccardopalladino6456]

No sidewalks in the first road 😢

[@miles5600]

cause there are houses around the road, you'll see this often in small rural towns.

[@hondaryder3779]

Zag ik daar nu een verbod voor voetgangers in St. Michielsgestel?

[@case1712]

Ja, op 4:46, notabene in combinatie met een wit bord met rode rand, wat normaal betekent dat niemand mag passeren, behalve voetgangers. Kortom, een zeer bijzondere situatie.

[@LarsvanderHeide]

Tijdelijk, vanwege het bouwverkeer. Voetgangers en bouwverkeer (druk aan het werk) is geen goede combinatie.

[@case1712]

Waarschuwingsborden lijken me dan geschikter dan verbodsborden.

[@PiotrSepski]

Scary stuff

[@reese924]

hmmm interesting route seems you had to share many roads with car traffic. I don't love that but the cars were going slow no? Is there automated speed enforcement in the Netherlands?

[@BicycleDutch]

Did you miss the modal filter at 12:40? This is the old road that can only be used by residents, for all others it is a dead end. The main current road runs parallel, a few hundred metres to the right of this old road.

[@EvilTurtle97]

There is no automated speed enforcement on roads like that. Those are typical smaller roads between villages and farms. They aren't ideal and I must say they do feel a bit dangerous especially at night. But the idea on how to slow down cars is basically to 'narrow' the road by having large trees very close to them as well as the two lines on the side also visually narrowing the road, which makes driving fast feel more dangerous. Honestly not a huge fan of those type of roads, I suspect the only reason they are somewhat safe is because they are usually very calm as well as drivers here being used to bikers, I personally do not like them because you completely have to trust a 60km/h (speed of those roads) car to both pay attention as well as respect you and go out of the way for you.

[@reese924]

@@BicycleDutch Yes, I must have missed that. Looking back I thought it was a plastic cone. Does it lower if you have a remote or something?

[@BicycleDutch]

yes residents have an electronic pass to lower that pyramide. There's hardly any traffic because of that one thing.

[@GerHanssen]

@@reese924 Yes, fire brigade, law enforcement and sometimes residents can make it go down. It is all regulated properly.

[@roivosemraiva]

Very NICE ride..one day i will make it over there to RIDE MY BIKE....
