In most cities in the Netherlands there are programs to learn immigrants to ride a bike. More or less on the same level as programs for learning the basics of the Dutch language. Most of the time these programs are run by volunteers, and sometimes with financial support from the local government. In a couple of cities tourists can get a cycling instructor for a couple of hours, to at least know the basics of cycling and traffic rules for cyclists.
Most bikes have Chaingards, fenders, lights etc. But usually we have a 2nd bike like a mountainbike or racingbike that don't have it. Also, bikes are not expensive (well some of the electrics can be tho). 2nd hands you can get them for around the price of a meal in a restaurant ;)
I used to bike with two children to do our weekly grocery shopping. One child front one child back, 3 big bags of groceries; one hanging on each handle and one between my legs. Oh and of course the double rear bike bags
Most regular bikes with a steel chain also have the chainguard protection. Just as a fenders. Most of the dutch have a 2nd sportsbike that fails both protecions. Good and cool vids, compliments from Holland!
Many of these smart things on a bike are actually many years old. Like the skirt guard, it was invented in times where all women wore dresses. Just everything about these bikes are designed in a way to make the thing cheap and practical. The kickstand in this video is the cheap option (it just works), there are alternative stands too. The bike you see from 9:32 in your video is around 25 years old now, I had exactly that type of bike 25 years ago and I still have it. It can still be very good if maintained properly. That is: you have to change the tires when worn, adjust the brakes sometimes and change the chain after 10 years of use. That's it. Easy, isn't it? About a dynamo: most bikes have integrated LED lighting on batteries right now. A dynamo works but is less reliable than the rest of the bike. And it gives a lot of resistance on the wheel, you have to paddle harder to get forward.
I used to sell bicycles in the Netherlands when I started working and this type was the cheapest new bike possible, around 199 euros, around holidays we lowered the price in sale for around 169 euros. They are amazing, reliable, comfortable and so mainstream that nobody will steal them
Dutchman here, first of all super nice video and certainly to see how for the Dutchman some things seem normal but for someone else they are special or strange. Typically, the protectors for your clothing are mainly seen on "city bicycles", these bicycles are made to withstand the rough outdoor life of the Netherlands, damage, rain and protection against wear and tear. This has to do with the fact that we depend on the bicycle to go to work or school and for that reason our bicycle must be good. In addition, many also have a leisure bike, which can be a racing bike or electric bike that we use in our spare time to go for a ride.
I used an old bike for ages to go to school or the bus stop to get to school. After school I purchased a more expensive bike so it gets me to work day in day out. And in the 2 years I have this bike the only problems I had were indeed only flat tires. It's normal here but seeing a video like this makes you appreciate our "standard" bike a lot more
I hope you can visit our country. If you have enough time you can learn to ride a bicycle too. Here in Amsterdam there are cycle lessons for migrants. Kind regards.
The bicycle is also a school. A child learns and experiences much more than on the back seat of a car. Not Just Bikes has nice video's about the dutch cargobike.
"Dutch bicycle" is just a regular city bike and very common in Europe. There is on thing to consider: Netherlands is very flat so if you live in a hilly city, you do want gears with ratios that make uphills easy. I had to look for what the cheapest bikes cost in Finland and I found them from 150€ ($164). 300€ with gears. But you can't speak of any quality with those. The bikes are heavy, components are cheap, they wear out faster. I have never liked the driving position on those. Not even as a kid. It is too upward and close handlebar makes steering terrible. They are also very inefficient to pedal. I prefer chain gears over in-hub gears all day. You can get wider gear ratios with gears that make uphills easy. Fair enough though that I have only a top notch gravel bike that comes with the concern that it might get stolen :D
The cross bar is because bikes were gendered. The bar is for a male bike because it is for optimal strength of your bike frame. But the bar-less bike was an adaptation for women with skirts. But now many people find them to be more practical so this association kind of faded over time.
As a Dutchie, ofcourse I have a bicycle. But I do also have a car.And a moped. And a card where I can go on every train,bus,tram on here. I am not worried about having transport here ;)
Funny thing I can bike with 3 if I want to One on the back me and one on the steering wheel and Can even one standing on back One sit on the back to and one on the steering wheel so that makes 4 😂😂
I wouldn’t choose an Oma-fiets if you want to make longer bicycle rides or tours. You sitting too much upright because the handle bar sits too high; your back and shoulders will complain after a while. For commuting in the city both bike types are great. The city bike is much more comfortable; the bike at 9:43 minutes. You still sit upright but less. You sit on it as on a sports tourer motorcycle. You don’t want to know what and how we transport thing on our bicycle.
The bike with the bear/child is basically still an omafiets. Similar handlebars, internal hub gearing, front dynamo (non-hub). Maybe more of an opafiets because it has a horizontal bar.
I will give one comentarios Black immigrants don't ride Bikes she shame the tell Family that she ride bike because is in Africa only for the poor people.

Her eyes when the guy starts speaking about the clothing. 😁
Love it how fascinating you guys are in how life in the Netherlands is, maybe a opportunity to start a bike shop with some help from us in Brazil.
Every day bikes all have coat and chain protection. The picture you watched while talking about this are race bikes with the curled down handles

All city bikes have the protection for clothes {jasbeschermer} and for the chain {kettingkast}, but sporting bikes dont
In the Netherlands,even the rich are biking!!😄😄
To save money.

What I find most interesting, is that something that was actually "invented" more than a hundred years ago, nowadays is an innovation to stay.

You think Dutch are all rich, but the bicycle almost always is a birthday gift from your parent or spous, meaning a big really big gift
The mouth breathing is wild 💀

Love the video's.
Greetings to the third world from the first world😀
Most Swedish bikes look just like the Dutch ones. Only if you want to use it for sport you buy a secondary/third bike.
Its not always raining 😉

Tudo o que está nas bicicletas, que ele mostra é padrão!!! Nada disso são opções extras.
95% of the bikes in the Netherlands have these locks standard on there bike. They are sold including those locks
