I agree, the Dutch approach to cycling is what I believe large metropolitan areas in the world should mimic.

Video of clean, quiet, calm social streets filled with happy and healthy looking people including a physically active older generation. 50 people: Nah, I don't like that.

this is why i’ve chosen holland as my winter break destination. i love cycling in london, but it’s nice not having to worry about getting run over by a truck/car/bus/horse and carriage..

Not even mentioned: you can go to a party and drink carelessly and still get home in the early hours on your bike, only once in my Amsterdam student years the police ordered me to get of my bike and continue my journey on foot.

We have to demand a change like this in Germany too! I love cycling in the Netherlands it is so easy and relaxing.

Dutch are a wonderful and conscientious people. Bigger countries could take a page out of their book.

I live very close to the Dutch border, yet the conditions for cyclists are way worse here in Germany. I love going to Venlo or Utrecht because there you feel like you actually are a part of the traffic and not just a nuisance for car drivers

You've just convinced me to start cycling

And look how many are wearing helmets... almost no-one, they feel safe so they are safe.

Will you come to Italy? You can literally film every cycle lane that we have in 20 mins!

I always dreamt of leaving the UK to go to Canada but after watching Not Just Bikes I ended up here and really want to live in the Netherlands now. I started learning French and German in school but remember very little and after trying to pick up some Dutch it's very simple as it's so similar to both English and German

I briefly lived in NL many years ago, and I really miss cycling as a cheap and safe mode of transportation.

Thanks for the info sir. How many Indians like me feels it the need of the hour in our cities (N.Delhi, Bhowali, Jaipur Kanpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Meerut, Bengaluru, Pune, Nashik, Gurugram etc) and also pledge now to take bicycling as the mode of transport for themselves.? Love from Nainital, Uttarakhand, India.
