Cycling is much more fun than sitting in a tin box..😁😁😁

@@barraabus true! And the fact that you can take it everywhere with you like in trains - water buses etc,, makes it super easy and fun to navigate downtowns and crowded areas.
There are free bycicle parking garages in some city centers 👍

No such thing as too many bike lanes

[@D-TH-]

@@TheSuperappelflap Totally agree 👌🇳🇱

[@MYoung-mq2by]

Too many bike lanes for all the insane number of leisurely, recreational trips that need to be made.
Imagine having all those people in cars all the time. 🤪😇

[@D-TH-]

@@MYoung-mq2by Exactly! That would be a nightmare 🤪😂 I am actually filming in Casablanca Morocco and what you said is exactly what's happening here, almost everyone goes out in cars! And barely any bike lanes.
Maybe I should make a video about that crazy traffic 😆

We all travel more save and faster because off a good infra structure ..a lot of countries can learn from this..in the bginning car people were not thet happy either overhere..now most of them see the flow and that it doesn't cost htem extra time (even having to drive more slow in certain areas.. your bike nts some tlc as it sounds..i think by the sound it might be the bearrings in your pedals..are complaining..so new pedels in a bit to stop the cricket sounds😁

[@D-TH-]

😂 Precisely!
Compared to other countries I've seen, Netherlands is the best pedestrian / cyclist country.

[@KajiRider1997]

Could've mentioned it was Dordrecht btw

[@D-TH-]

@@KajiRider1997 Thank you for letting me know! I just set the location under the video after I saw your comment 😊

[@PinnacleNL]

Oh no. Des te dichter bij Dordt des te rotter het wordt. 🙈

[@KajiRider1997]

@@PinnacleNL That's only because the closer the traders got to Dordt the more they needed to pay taxes.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Nice, but Dordrecht has only mediocre bicycle infrastructure when compared to the Netherlands. Many old fashioned painted lanes, instead of truly separated lanes, many stones instead of asphalt and cars parked right next to the bike lane.....

[@nicohakvoort4998]

A cyclist doesn't pay any tax at all.

[@D-TH-]

I love that part 👌👍

[@JessicaHicks]

Wow. Nice views.

[@D-TH-]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@theGoogol]

The Netherlaneds has too many expats who left their best and freeest country in the world.

[@D-TH-]

@@theGoogol Life in Netherlands 🇳🇱 is special 👌

[@ronaldderooij1774]

We need all the immigrants we can get. Pity about the housing crisis. So we need to build more houses. There is a shortage of labourers here, skilled and not skilled.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

The Netherland can not do without the expats. This country would collapse without them.

[@PinnacleNL]

Om nog niet te spreken over het feit dat autochtone voortplanting onder de vervangingscijfers zit.

[@RealConstructor]

@@PinnacleNLEn dat de jeugd voor de verkeerde opleidingen kiest. Opleidingen in techniek, gezondheidszorg en onderwijs geven een grotere baankans dan entertainment opleidingen en andere pretstudies, toch kiest een meerderheid voor de laatste twee.

[@zakariaadvbiker]

keep going

Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

Actually we have too few bike lanes and too many car lanes here... and way too may cars.

[@D-TH-]

@@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands Precisely car numbers are rising, some people would rather take their car for a short distance instead of their bicycle 🚲
I had a car and I used it like once per week or two. Even though I am a car guy 🤣 so I only drive much when I am abroad.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Yep, the population ages....

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Actually those bike lanes are good for motorists! Because each bike keeps a car of the road. And the net result is that although the cars have fewer lanes, the traffic is still lighter and easier for the motorist. AND bike infrastructure are much cheaper for the tax payer. So the net result is positive for everybody! Not just the cyclists!

[@amberalbertinia1286]

No, motorists on bicycle lanes would cause a lot danger for cyclists and kids. It's a terrible idea. The scooters are already terrible. No fucking motorists on the bicycle lane. Period. This is CRAZY. Wtf

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

@@amberalbertinia1286 Bruh: I think you should re-read what I said, I never said that motorist should be on bike lanes (that would indeed be crazy!) What I said is that almost every bike trip to a shop, etc. is also one trip LESS in a car. So, by constructing bikelanes (ONLY for bikes!) in stead of car lanes, so many people will taken out of their cars that more space will be left on the car lanes, even if there are fewer car lanes. Do you get it now?
