I am Dutch and nowadays there are some really poor here in the Netherlands with so much debt or such a low income that children go without breakfast to school and that school arranges breakfast for them. Also there is a huge housing crisis going on here.
Another great thing about our ability to safely cycle anywhere is early independence for children. They do not have to be driven around by their parents all the time, they just cycle to their friends and school etc. themselves.🥰
Some Dutch employers offer their employees help on purchasing a bike ( or e-bike ). They do this by using the taxable part of the salary. So instead of paying out part of the salary ( and pay taxes for it ), employees are allowed to use part of the gross salary directly for buying a bike. For that part they dont pay taxes, making it worth while to use the employee arrangement.

It's Portuguese haha, I speak Spanish and my Brazilian and Spanish friends say I should be able to understand it more or less but I have no fucking clue what they are saying hahahaha
Should you find ypurself here in the Netherlands, lunch is on me :) Always nice tovsee people interested in my country :) i think many of us take it for granted and don't realise how good we have it here.
Just discoverd your awesome channel, defenitly going to subscribe. Just a little fact: Did you know that a small part of brazil was a dutch colony once?
Lovely reaction, thank you! As a Dutch person, I can tell you that the government here doesn't always listen to what the people want. But overall, life here is really good. I've always counted myself as very lucky to have been born in such a rich country. I've had a chronic illness since 2011, and because I followed the rules on how to deal with sickness and disease, the government pays me 70% of the salary I earned before I got sick. So I still live in the appartment I bought before I got sick. I don't have a lot of money, but I own a car, a bike, and can afford healthy food. That's what I'm the most grateful for: being able to keep my dignity, despite having this illness I'm able to take care of myself and not be a burden to my family.
Yes these kind of videos and more, you realize we're not living bad at all. In every country there is something to complain, the Netherlands not excluded, but we can be proud to live here.
We are way too spoiled here :( That said, for a business, we can get everything here pretty much with world wide delivery and infrastructure. Lots of bike food delivery also. Dont stay in Amsterdam if you will visit lmao, can just cycle or take public transport there from outside :P will save you alot of money
6:20. we have "swapfiets, u see them all around Amsterdam" you pay 23 euros (less if u just want the 1 gear one). and they fix ur shit if u get a flat tire etc. for free.
Its not all like this in "first world countries". The UK for example has almost nothing like this infrastructure for bicycles.... There are so many car's, riding a bike on the roads is highly likely you'll get knocked off of it.
True, but the UK has the flawed anglo Saxon economic model versus the Rhine economic model used in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. This so called social market economy combines free market capitalism with social policies and a welfare state. This is why these countries outscore the UK on almost every metric. Including healthcare, education, infrastructure, less corruption, lower gap between rich and poor and a working democracy. The UK ranks much lower because it is a class society where the elites often with old money rule the country. The Brexit has been engineered for decades by the elites like lying Boris Johnson. The UK does have some benefits over its flawed anglo Saxon brother the USA. Better and safer infrastructure, NHS and more welfare available to people. But the evil right wingers have destroyed both countries for the average citizens.
The netherlands is not Utopia but when it comes to infrastructure its great. However don't forget it took 50 years to construct it. And the maintenance is important to which is payd from the taxes we all pay. A saying we use' where there is the will there is a way'.😊
We have our legislation adapted to cycling as well, meaning that if a car hits a cyclist, then the driver of that car liable, no matter what the cyclist did! Just to protect the cyclists. So it really is very save to ride a bike in our country. Car will ALWAYS pay very close attention and that gets drilled into your every fibre when you take driving lessons. So its not just a matter of infrastrucure.
Most import part is that politicians understand they work for the other people and not for their own benefit (read wallet) and don't help their alleys. Share share share
hmm well i cant imagine a bike is expensive anywhere in the world compared to a motorcycle or a car... so although the roads might be shit for bikes. its not expensive. people just rather use there car
Third world countries should learn what to NOT implement as the next developments. Not go for car infrastructure, but start with affordable and efficient bike infrastructure with proper public transport. Like many third world countries who immediately went to mobile internet in stead of cabled networks.
I do have a problem with the statement that bikes are expensive. Because they are the most cost effective way to travel. Bikes don’t have to cost much, for around 100-200 dollars you can have a very simple one that does the job. And you can save on spending money on public transport, which allows this investment to be earned back fast. Even in most third world countries bikes are commonplace. And these days in most third world countries people can afford scooters or even motorcycles. So a bike should not be a problem, especially if there is a healthy second hand market. Here in the Netherlands I can get a good second hand bike for 80 dollars. Children’s bikes can even be bought for 30-50 dollars. Now I understand that for the poorest people who earn just a few dollars a day, this is too much. But luckily billions of people do have enough to afford a bike.
Again an amazing reaction video to something we take for granted here in The Netherlands. We have come a long way to build the larges bike parking in the world, but indeed: it works really well, especially in cities. Of course, outside of cities, the bike is less commonly used, so the idea of getting to your destination by bike is more a city thing. There are just many cities in NL, so there are many bikes. Fun fact: the largest bike parking is on one end of the central station (the largest in the country), and on the other side of the station there is another bike parking garage for 4200 bicycles. A bit further into town, there are three more, together fitting about 1000 bikes. The city just encourages everyone to go by bike, the city is even partly car free. Parking your car costs 5 euros per hour (!), while bike parking is free for 24 hours, and then 50 cents per day. A huge difference. I live in Utrecht, the city center is about 4 km from my home. Say, I want to go shopping for three hours. Taking the car takes 10 minutes, and parking costs 15 euros (if you can find a space). Taking the bus takes 20 minutes, and costs around 4 euros for a return trip. Taking the bicycle takes 15 minutes, and parking is free. Easy choice, right?
the problem is in developing countries, bikes are seen as poor people transport, and nobody wants to be poor. Get a CAR! Show you are doing great! then everybody gets more and more cars, traffic is HORRIBLE and dangerous and everybody is worse off. The dutch are rich enough that they don't need their shiny BMW to prove they have made it, so even rich people often use bikes.
I'm a Dutchman. After retirement on 1-1-11 I went with my Dominican wife to he country. It is a 3rd world country, but according to the UNO it will reach the status of a developed country in 2030. In the 14 year I live here, I did see the improvements. Yes, I do miss cycling, but it is still too dangerous here, many people look suicidal, while participating in traffic.
Well,there are still stupid people.For instance the people in Rotterdam refuse to follow the people in Amsterdam and other to go to work on a bike.So they have up to now all een car to go to their work.And so they waste a lot of space for new highways and another new highway and still they stand stil in the rush hours..

Last time I checked Brazil is in fact a third world country,
They might not be the poorest,
But they're still below countries like China.
