- [697] The Belgian province of Limburg tries to further improve recreational cycling by creating cycling attractions. Cycling through Water (#FDHW) and cycling through the Trees (#FDDB) were the first two. More information in the blog post: bicycledutch.w...
Every city / country should encourage bicycle use. Fossil fuels free transportation.
Absolutely
Wow these are really cool, I especially like the water one. Wouldn't mind getting a few fun things like this in the Netherlands.
just for walking but have a look at this one: www.vvvbrabantsewal.nl/nl/activiteitenkaart/detail/mozesbrug--9f73608a-4ef4-45a4-8e48-83e4aceec6c7
Die water Onderlopende bruggen hebben wij ook..
@@Zoza15 I am unaware of us having one like this, where you can put your water into the water as you bike by. I know about the one on Haarlem, but it's not the same as this.

@@Radek-j4y I speak English online because these are international websites and I would like for everyone to be able to understand what I'm saying, instead of limiting myself to just the Netherlands.
Very lovely. Nice cycling for normal casual riders and family riders with children. A pleasant day out of doors to be had and enjoyed.
Thank you for the innovative numbering system ! It's the best of all I ever used.
Cycling through the water. ---- Holy Moses!
> Absolutely perfect.
I wish my city, heck, I wish we had ANYTHING like that in all of Norway, just one of those attractions would be an increase of a billion percent in terms of "planning for the bicycle and all that comes with".
In Trondheim they have a bicycle lift. That looks like an adventure.
Fantastische indrukken van spektakulare natuur en fietspadsen.
Thank you Mark for all your videos... I'm watching your riding videos as a relaxing moment before to sleep! I think I'll buy a bicycle soon to live the cycling feeling too... Never own a bicycle before, don't know if I can bicycle... But want to try it anyways at 44 years old! It is never too late. Thanks for the inspirational spirit... Hugs.
Beautiful. Like a fairytale, cycling through tree tops.
Now that is really creative, and very unique.
The Netherlands make the UK's attempt to promote cycling somewhat pathetic .
Only Denmark is free from being seen as pathetic when it comes to bicycling infrastructure and mentality.
This video is about Belgium though.
@@MrAronymous Yes I was aware of that but had I not been your educative comment would have been appreciated.
This cycling road is from our Belgium neighbors.
Although i do want to say is that the UK needs to keep fighting for cycling Infrastructure and cycling as a whole.
If the whole cycling thing completely takes off in the UK then the second part becomes all about innovating and create more convenient cycling planning to completely separate cyclists and pedestrians from cars.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!..
Yes as the Dutch folks, we want you UK folks to have your amazing cycling Infrastructure, and don't feel down or discouraged only because you see the cycling convenience we have in The Netherlands..
@@Zoza15 Thank you for your comments, I think one of the problems in the UK apart from a lack of initiative from politicians is the'them and us' culture that grown here with people encouraged to demonise one side or the other. Car drivers do seem to resent cyclists and cyclists in turn can sometimes fuel this attitude. Infrastructure that separates bikes from motor vehicles would promote a tremendous growth in cycling but unfortunately politicians are too short sighted and can only see as far as the next election.
In 1830 Limburg wasn't split up. It joined Belgium as a whole, with the exception of Maastricht which was occupied by a Dutch garrisson, to the dismay of its citizens, and the tiny north point of Mook. The Treaty of London in 1839, called the eastern part _Duchy of Limburg_ and made it part of both the Netherlands and the German Bond (with exception of Maastricht and Venlo) until the German Bond broke up in 1866. Finally In 1867 the now Dutch Limburg became a province of the Netherlands. Until then it wasn't treated equal: Limburgian MPs could not vote on the Dutch constitution in 1840.
This was the ultra short version. In the blog post it is explained more eleborate, complete with references to the London conferences of 1839 and 1867 and later Dutch Limburg's membership of the German Confederation as it was officially called in English. I chose to say 1830 because that is when things started to change, taking until 1866/67 to get to the situation we are in now.
Mark is changing the face of tourism in the Netherlands and in Belgium..I look forward to biking through the trees and the water, though having a swan so close to my face is a bit daunting.
No helmets! Why because they are riding safely! There is nothing inherrently dangerous with riding a bike.
Says anyone that's never been hit by a distracted motorist, and told they'd be dead if not for the helmet! Sorry...I'll wear one thanks!🙄
@@robertmuckle2985 Our infrastructure isn't dangerous for cyclists.
@@robertmuckle2985 If you feel you need to wear a helmet?, that's your choice..
@@Zoza15 Where I live it's the law...and being a bicycle racer I understand why! But ignorance is a blissful place to dwell...enjoy🥴
@@Brozius2512 Infrustructure is a moot point as accidents happen regardless of how tame the terrain may seem!
I was there few months ago. Love that, but had less time to explore. Maybe next time will have better and longer time 👍
Through the fire and the flames
Through the water and the trees
"Cycling through the water" on my recumbent bike might be less interesting…
Bigger wheels.;)
Laatst met mijn waterfiets op 't fietspad was ook niet alles...
Use a periscope
Both sound like fun to do. The 'cycling through the water' reminds me of the Moses bridge in Halsteren NL that I cycled to when holidaying in Etten-Leur a couple of years ago...although you can only walk across that one!
That’s a good name for a bridge like that.
So cool!
This is amazing. Can only dream of that here in the US.
They even have another one plannend, called: ‘Cycling below the ground’
with clear walls so you can see roots of trees and tunneling created by ts and animals. Open to the sky however.
Leaving North America in the dust.
The part trough the water overflows often in storm season.
European countries especially western european regions are blessed with beautiful nature and surroundings. The people also keep their country clean and protect the mother nature from illegal activities. Here in my country Malaysia mother nature's are exploited for money, people's civic education is very low, everywhere is trashes. Dirty rivers, dirty walkway, dirty toilets. On contrary our nearest neigbouring country Singapore exceptionally very clean.
Dear Key....it used to be the same over here in Europe. But at a certain moment we understood that we were living on a self-created timebomb. We started educating ourselves in the 70's.....it took 40 years....but we have hope again to live in non-poluted environment. Start educating yourself...and your neighbours...it's the beginning of something beautifull :) just do it (as a certain label says)
those path were grand ideas!
i notice you dont see drop bar bikes in the netherlands, usually cruisers
Because it's not just a sport. It's a mode of transport and form of recreation for everyone. There are certainly drop bars, they just make up a tiny part of the total cycling community.
I'd love to go here!
Genk!!!!
Must check it out, it's not so far from me. Thank you as always for your videos. :-)
I'd love to see the environmental impact study of the "cycle through water" piece - how can fish and the other water animal get across that barrier through the middle of that fish pond?
@@BicycleDutch Thank you.
I think it was already split beforehand with a path just like the path in the same body of water, check out the satellite images
I'm calling Tom Scott to ride at least through the water...
LOL 03:08, Amai, da water is goe diep he?
Olé...🚴🇪🇦🤘🏻
What happened if water will rise up, in future?
get wet feet I guess
a glass roof
Of a pond?!
At the side of the cycle path, there are metal storm drains. The excess water will fall over the edge into the storm drains.
It's a lake not the sea.
More likely to start drying out due to climate change than to rise.
a very nice video for once ;;;;; so different from those with sex or violent contents...... I support developing this kind of places everywhere ;
brilliant
wow thank you for sharing this !!!
Ah yes South Holland
@Aryan Ramanand no province Limburg Southeast in the Netherlands
zeg makker, dit noem je
*Z U I D - N E D E R L A N D*
groetjes van zuid-holland.
Nee, België! Belgium kicked the Netherlands out in 1830, it's no longer your place. Bye bye, good riddance!
We need more bridge through water at another place 🤔
au moins on n'est risque pas de tomber dans l'eau... 😎
Separate the lake? Do not think is good idea.
Those two lakes (man made ponds rather) have never been connected.
@@BicycleDutch Well.
i came here after watch 9gag posted it on instagram
Ik heb in Eksel gewoond.
Microsoft Eksel?
Cycling through water... mwah, that's nothing...! I walk ON water!
he did not last long though......
het was niet echt nodig om de geschiedenis van het VKN op te brengen in een video over België. Hoe nostalgisch je dan nog naar ons mag kijken.
Het was je kennelijk ontgaan dat volgens behoorlijk wat meldingen in de internationale pers dit fietspad in Limburg Nederland gesitueerd zou zijn. Niet waar natuurlijk, maar het was dus echt nodig uit te leggen dat er in beide landen een provincie is met dezelfde naam en waarom dan.
@@BicycleDutch Dit fietspad bevind zich in het prachtig Belgenland
Tourist trap!
Tree huggers snow flakes.
Sigh
Huh?..
@@Zoza15 Maybe you understand this: YAWN...
@@Brozius2512 Ik praat niet tegen jou trouwens.
@@Zoza15 Dan ben je mentaal niet in order aangezien alleen jij en ik hier comments plaatsen.
You gotta love a country that spawns some of the worlds greatest bike racers, but have a sub group of recreational riders that believe...if you ride slowly on bike paths you'll never have need for skull protection🤣
More hospitals see concussive head injury from this group than any other, due to inexperience, poor bike handling skills, and it's far easier to just keel over and crack ones head on a curb at slow speeds than whilst riding fast! Very amusing🤯
