When I lived in the Netherlands I used to cycle everywhere because it was often the easiest, cheapest, most fun, healthiest and fastest way to get around. The main reason this is the case is because the government and the people at some point decided that having a good bicycle infrastructure was good for the people and the country. Without a good infrastructure, cycling can be a real nightmare and so people don't do it, no matter how flat your country is. Similarly, hilly places with good bicycle infrastructure see a lot of people cycling because it's simply easier, more fun, cheaper and healthier.
I find myself in a state of confusion in Dutch videos. While I am fluent in English and understand German well, the Dutch language perplexes me as I struggle to comprehend its spoken words. However, despite this difficulty, I must admit that the intonation and rhyme of the Dutch language are absolutely charming. It's impossible for me to feel upset with the Dutch language, given its delightful sound.❤
So you're saying that you speak English and German but not Dutch and then say it 'perplexes' you that you don't understand Dutch when you said that you don't speak it. Why should it perplex you that you don't understand a language you cannot speak?
@@korruptnovellst4751 Thank you for pointing out the inconsistency in my previous comment. I understand that it may seem illogical to be perplexed by a language I don't speak. However, as someone fluent in English and German, I find it challenging to follow subtitles in Dutch videos. Whenever I hear a word in Dutch, my brain instinctively tries to grasp and comprehend that charming language. It's true; there is a disconnect between my understanding and my ability to speak Dutch. I acknowledge the inconsistency, but I can't help but feel captivated by its unique sound. It's a perplexing and delightful experience for me. Thank you for bringing attention to this paradox.

Het beste fietsland van de wereld🚲🚲❤️
It would be so great if other countries would adopt the dutch cycling infrastructure. I've heard good things about Copenhagen and Paris, but there's still a long way to go!
I love this channel so much. Fun to get to cycle around Eindhoven again with the friendly soundtrack.
These videos are absolutely terrific. I'm traveling to Amsterdam in a month, so I'm brushing up on my Dutch. 47 years ago, I lived in Den Haag for 3 years, but I went to an English school, so I wasn't fluent. These videos are helping me a lot. To answer the question: I own 2 bikes, one for commuting and the other for exercise. I'm going to trade the commuter bike for an e-bike, but I will continue to cycle with a group, which I do every week. I don't ride crazy distances anymore, but a good 30 miler is still the best form of exercise outside of running (which I can't do anymore). Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Thanks for the positive feedback and good luck improving your Dutch!
I wish more countries would follow this example so that there would be less cars
Leon's interview is zo goed
Cycling everyday is EXTREMELY good for your physical and psychological health so no wonder they love it.
Biking everyday would automatically make you essentially a happier person overall because of the neurotransmitters firing and the release of neuro-chemicals which also elevate mood. Every other country is missing out 😢.
I love to bike as well! -
I just returned from the netherlands a week ago. I saw one of these fietsknooppunten and didn't understand what they were, now I do and feel like I need to go there again to try them out.
Ik heb twee fiets. Ik vind fietsen leuk.
Super leuk flimpje. 😊
Een fiets is handig behalve als je heel veel boodschappen hebt.
I have (cough) 5 bikes, my husband has 3 and we have 2 tandems. We are actually going to need to get rid of some bikes when we move to the Netherlands next year.
I just got an electric bike around 3 months ago. I love it so much more than a regular bike. I love playing sports too so it's not that I'm lazy but I don't like to have to spend my energy commuting, I like to save it for the more fun stuff, playing team sports and working on new videos.
Thanks for posting👍
bedankt 🌸🍀🌸🍀🌸
I have one e-bike, and I'm riding it on a daily basis in Bonn - Germany. And if I don't get run over by a car until then, I'm looking forward to moving to the Netherlands!
Little sidenote
People in Netherlands also regularly use the car in many ways
Like for example for driving kinda small and big distances, big groceries.
Last years the car is not used that often cuz of Covid but in the last 20 years the car is bought more and people drive their car more often. The Bike IS still popular tho and in the Big cities they use them WAYYYYYY more often for everything but thats cuz they don’t want to have one cuz the parking is fricking expensive.
but last years people use car cuz of the privacy. Only downfall you have to find parking which actually in my opinion makes the dutch more lazy these days.
Btw since last years the E-bike and fatbike and scooter/mopet are FAARRRRR more superior these days cuz people love to go somewhere fast with having to worry about parking, and its also more environmentally friendly (except the mopets they are loud as hell)
Thats why i love cycling its good for you in many ways.
You get Vitamin D, sunlight, exercise, more happy feeling etc. Only cons are that your open to storms, rain, snow, cold, theft.
But with bike you can go through small narrow streets which the car can’t and its far more faster

Leon is zo schattig
Dat klopt! 😄
Vanwege zijn on-germaanse uiterlijk?
@@johanvandermeulen9696 ben je goed?
@@yeniceripanzeri Beste janitsaar, jullie korps bestaat niet meer. Ik ben de naam vergeten van de turkse sultan die het corps der janitsaren ontbond. Sultan Hamid I? Ik weet het niet meer. Wat die presentator betreft van deze video: ik vind het een oervervelend kereltje, maar zulks is natuurlijk een kwestie van smaak. Hij ziet er zeer on-nederlands uit. En zoals je weet, wij Nederlanders zijn Germanen net als de Duitsers. Cermen in het turks. Ik ken ook blonde turken: ik zat eens in de bus naar Üsküb en raakte in gesprek met een grote blonde blauwogige Turk. Een aardige, spontane kerel. Toen ik eens vanuit Hellas (Yunanistan) de Maritza overstak en in Turkije terecht kwam liep daar in Evros een turks meisje dat eruit zag als een Friezin.
@@johanvandermeulen9696 man wat ik niet begrijp is, waarom heb je me dat geantwoord? Ik woon in nederland en ik ken ook veel schattige nederlanders, het hangt voor mij tenminste niet af van hoe je eruit ziet. Mijn gebruikersnaam liet je echter in de steek.
In belangrijk punt is niet vermeld: Nederland is op Limburg en de Hoge Veluwe na zo VLAK als een pennekoek. Geen heuvels, geen bergen. Dat maakt het gebruik van de fiets veel gemakkelijker!
Ik voelde me zo teleurgesteld dat hij aan het einde van de video 'Ajuus' zei in plaats van 'Houdoe', aangezien hij in Eindhoven is 😁😂
😂😂 Dat was inderdaad toepasselijk geweest!
En hoe zou 'tot ziens' als 3e alternatief zijn?
P.S. @Leon. Ik heb net zoveel fietsen als bloedsomlopen.
Kaaskoppe 😂
