I lived in Tucson (Casas Adobes area/The Bluffs neighborhood) for 4 years--2016-2020--and I loved our time there. Can't beat the weather. The Loop is great. MTB riding is fantastic--there are so many great trail systems to ride. The hiking is even better than the cycling, in my opinion. As far as riding on roads alongside drivers--watch out. Tucson drivers are pretty horrible. A lot of them never learned how to drive correctly, are always on their phones, and/or are overtly reckless and aggressive. There are a lot of memorial ghost bikes all over Tucson. I finally got so spooked by near misses that I mainly stuck to the Loop or MTB. Mt. Lemmon is incredible. You can also ride up the back side of Lemmon on trails/jeep roads--pretty epic. Fantastic group rides. Again, though, if you're riding on your own, especially, watch out for the dangerous driving you will encounter.

cycling is peak poor behaviour(tokkies) in the netherlands all working class and based people drive

might be goin to UF, stoked to see some bike infrastructure to get around the city

Interesting is that they showed always Amsterdam, but actually Amsterdam is for biking not the walhalla. I lived in Amsterdam for years. Utrecht is much nicer for cycling or Arnhem.

Thanks

Actually, Amsterdam is a bit mediocre as far as Dutch bike infrastructure standards go. Rule of thumb: The newer the city, the better. Lelystad, Zoetermeer, Almere, all better than Amsterdam for bikes. Exception: Rotterdam. Newly built after WW2 but with the car philosophy in mind. Turning it back, though. Utrecht and Groningen are old cities that have better bike infrastructure than Amsterdam.

09:02 Goyerdijk! No, it’s not a cycling lane. It is just a quiet, narrow rural road, but it is a popular cycling route along country estates. Part of a long distant cycling route from the coast to the German border. I often go there with my racing bike from Utrecht. The road is at the bottom of a ridge, and every turn north leads to a slope on a hill. you managed to pick another popular recreational cycling area: de Posbank. it's the highest hill (about 110 m) of the 'northern' Netherlands. It's covered in heath, which flowers purple in august.

I would love to bike Oakland but Oakland is very dangerous if you are Asian or White

Your channel is off to a great start!!! When are you going riding again and making more videos of destinations???

The N224, I just biked it last Sunday. Deelen, Hoenderloo, Otterlo. And back to Arnhem. We have bike paths everywhere. And it is great.

Imagine how you blow your helmet if you visit actually bike friendly cities in the Netherlands like Utrecht, Nijmegen, Maastricht. Yes, compared to basically anywhere outside the Netherlands (maybe scandinavian cities excempt) it is awesome but among the Dutch it is considered one of the worst cycling cities. Not so much Amsterdam at fault for that tbh, it is the nature of being Adult Disneyland.

He said “Main Vain”……Ha Ha….😂

Great video and thanks for the helpful timestamps

neponset river hyde park to umass and into the city

yes.. i dont give a crap about cities. because cities suck.. but im so glad we got great bike infrastructure outside of our cities.

I’m tired I of bicycles clogging up the road and I’m tired of public money being wasted on bike lanes

i just saw this, and your presentation is pro! however, the content is lacking. the trail riding here is OFF THE CHARTS! gravel riding is endless any direction out of this small city, and i believe the eastern divide route comes straight through tallahassee and the tally tango is a huge bike packing race!

Go there and report back.

We don't have much hills but we do have A LOT of wind (because it's flat?) Funny enough, old cities like Amsterdam have crappier bikelanes because roads are often narrow because the buildings and roads have been there for hundreds of years (generally speaking). If you look at newer cities like Almere, that have been build from scratch a few decades ago, you'll find much better bike infrastructure because it was part of the planning from the beginning. The older cities are slowly being converted/adapted to modern standards but it's sometimes harder to find the space. And because biking is a part of our culture, motorized vehicles automatically are more considered to bicycles and pedestrians. They are used to sharing the road in cities.

I hope to be there some day.

Only foreigners wear helmets in the Netherlands. And it is not Amsterdam that's unique, it is the whole of the Netherlands. Amsterdam is merely an expat enclave and considered an American amusement park sadly.

Helmet?

I want to get work in Denver area so I can door dash on the side on my bike

Check the bike lanes in Almere, city next to Amsterdam. Cars, bikes, buses all have separate lanes. All over the place, unique even in Holland.

I am still not sure how to move the gpx over to Google maps. I would navigate using Google My Maps

Hello! We are a non-profit organization dedicated to making Phoenix a friendly, safe, and welcoming place to ride a bike, thanks for taking a look around. Happy to answer any questions anyone has. Phoenix (especially downtown / mid-town) is slowly but surely getting quite a comprehensive network of buffered and protected bike lanes.

You lost me with "Cuba is an interesting place politically".

There is no point to clic on a map off the Netherlands and seeking bike lanes,because it is the same in the whole country!!Everywhere are bike lanes!!I am a Dutch man,so i know..

Bit useless

Google is horrible for bikelanes and cycle paths, it takes you next to big roads mostly like the ones you showed while there are way nicer routes across the countryside, connected via 'knooppunten" which are numbered interchanges between points.

Just into the first 23 seconds of the video.... the bike lanes are not unique to Amsterdam. The entire country is filled with them.

Amsterdam is nothing, the Dutch bike city is Groningen

Nice video! I love how you just go and explore. And you did pretty okay with the pronunciation, 😉 well, I understood everything you mentioned. I just want to correct you on a small detail. We never have mixed bicycles with pedestrians infrastructure in cities in the Netherlands. A sidewalk is strictly for pedestrians.

Hey man. How much did you pay for this? I see one listed near me for $1100

You can bike on the beaches but no E-bikes or electric scooters. The Pinellas trail is super nice and it's convenient to get to downtown for work, but there's not much covered/wooded trail so it can be pretty hot during the summers.

Where the find it on google map?

pls tell me how to use this creation in Google Map navigation

The gravel scene in LR is a work in progress. NWA has us beat on that one. We do have some nice technical and flowy mountain bike trails and a ton of great road bike areas.

Great video thanks for sharing I learned a lot. If you're riding in Phoenix, Arizona, of course, this time of year early morning LOL check out the Queen Creek wash trail. A hidden gem paved trail. You also can head south for a mile and jump on the Sonoqui Wash Trail to complete a 12 mile loop. There are a couple great restaurants just off the trail "The Bistro" and 'Creek Side Taco Shack" For more details check out this video. th-cam.com/video/KhxzcyjGagk/w-d-xo.html

Emsterdem.... goddemn....

Google Maps... not every dotted line denotes offroad. A dotted green line denotes pavement that is "bike friendly" but without a dedicated bike lane. In my city (St. Petersburg, FL) "bike friendly" usually means a road lane that is specifically marked as shared use.

Great idea for a blog... My wife and I are moving somewhere and having a one stop shop like this that does my research for me is great. Good luck with site!

Looked like Bentonville, AR on the map, if it was that is where I live.

Hi, how do you combine GPX routes together in Google Maps? Thank you.

Have you discovered what has prevented getting all bike paths, bike lanes, safety paths, trails, and low traffic roads all together on one map ap? From what I can see, most bike trail aps treat bike routes as the destination for your toy bike - as in go here, play with your toy bike on this path, put it back on your car and drive home. But when using a bike as transportation to the bigger world of possible destinations it becomes cumbersome to jump around on 2, 3, or more map aps to find a safe and efficient route to a meaningful destination. Nobody would be using nav systems in their cars if they had to use one ap to find Interstates, another ap for county roads, and then yet another ap to display the city street that a business or residence is located on. But somehow paths and trails for bikes has remained fragmented among so many map aps that it is a tedious challenge to figure out how to connect existing bike lanes, paths, and trails into a useful route. I do use GoogleMaps mainly because it's free and no other map ap has shown me enough info to be worth a subscription. I'm glad you pointed out how to use aerial image to zoom in on GoogleMaps green lines and determine what is really there for cyclists. I do that and have been frequently appalled by the dangerous roads with high speed limits and no shoulders that get green lines on GM. But even more often terrific safety paths that parallel a highway do not show up with a green line. Anyhow, my main question is what is the hurdle to getting all bike lanes/paths/trails consolidated into one map ap? Thanks.

Thank you for the knowledge. I recently bought a gravel bike and have been going on many bike paths out in Needham, Natick, Newton & Wellesley. I am going to check out that rail trail you mentioned, Mass Central Rail Trail.

Could you tell me or show me how to get it in your phone and ride the route? This information I cannot find anywhere.

thanks for sharing. look, i normally use the google maps directions (voice through earbuds) to navigate. do you know how to transfer this track to a google directions? the tansfer is there but no route directions as you normally get by adding the destination. thanks

thank you.. i didn't know about layers on google.maps. I ride a solar eRecumbent tadpole.. I do not go off road. I really like Komoot for planning a trip.. What are your thoughts on Komoot for plotting out a tour?

While there might be short gaps and it's not always the shortest route, you can find ongoing bike lanes from the Swedish city of Malmö (Sweden usually only has bike lanes within the cities) through Denmark, Northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium into the French city of Lille (where it drops to only slightly better than American standard). Also the quality may vary - Denmark loves these edge lanes and smaller towns in Germany and Belgium may force you on crappy sidewalks.
