Рік томуA narrated Netherlands cycling video as I go out for a bike ride for the very first time in Amsterdam. I start in the Jordaan and head over to Vondelpark and ride past the Van Gogh Musuem and through the Rijiksmusuem making my way north up to Centraal Station.

What a great environment. Coming from noisy car dominated cities it's so refreshing to see pedestrians and bicycles dominate the streetscape. What a refreshing change to see a place where cycling is the norm... the young and old, shoppers, professionals in suits, parents with kids... everyone from all walks of life on a bike. Look at the way people live here, then look at those suburban soccer mums we have back home. Try telling me which is the healthier lifestyle and environment!
@mariskab.9106 Рік тому
As a Dutch native for most of my life but the last fifteen years in Canada..yes I do miss cycling the most. However now living in rural Canada it is almost impossible to take your kid to hockey or soccer games on a bicycle...or the school :) the infrastructure in the Netherlands is geared to it and the winters are not as harsh as they can be in Canada. That said in the mayor and smaller cities of Canada it would be great to see more infrastructure for bicycles it should be possible in the future. You can stay very healthy in Canada too it is matter of choice ..:)

The signs actually say "Uitgezonderd". That means that bikes are exempt. So a one way street for cars, or no entry for example does not apply to cyclists and they are free to go. Bikes are allowed almost everywhere and make every turn except in a truely dedicated pedestrian zone or like something obvious like a major highway.
@urbandiscount Рік тому
google maps is very car centric in its navigation, also for bikes. That's probably why it didn't allow you to go into the side streets. Knowing Amsterdam well, you could have taken all of the side streets that looked so tempting to you. Off Rokin, for instance, you can cut through a narrow street to the Oude Zijds Burgwallen, where the RLD starts. Damstraat, off Dam Square, same story. You kept mostly to the primary car routes.

Amsterdam is like an onion. While this vlog focusses on a few of the older, more central and perhaps somewhat village-like neighborhoods, the majority of Amsterdam’s built up area, was built in the last 70 years. These newer quarters have highways, railroads, tall buildings, a huge seaport, suburbs etc. Like all similarly sized developed cities. The whole of Amsterdam-including newer developments-is still pretty dense, but comparable to other similarly sized European cities. What is special, though, is the prevalence of safe and smart bicycle infrastructure in and between every neighborhood in every town or city in the Netherlands. Cycling is just as safe and pleasant (apart from the pretty old architecture) in the outer rings of the onion. I believe this is what really makes it unique because as a result only about 28% of the almost one million inhabitants of Amsterdam proper have a car.

At 6.20 you say the light was red and everybody started cycling, what youre looking at is the light on the other side for bikes to turn left there, your light was beside you on your right which turns green at the same time. Also at 21.30 after the Rijksmuseum your stop light is there on your right, but you went past it and so you couldnt see it hen it turned green (you are correct its green at the same time as the crosswalk). And at Centraal just after 36 mins the sign is not "no bicycles" it means "end of cycle path" so youre entering a pedestrianised space.
@rientsdijkstra4266 8 місяців тому
Bike infrastructure is not always better in the Netherlands or Amsterdam, expecially in older streets that are simply not suitable for restructuring. However there is one very big difference in the Netherlands, and that is the enormous number of bikes + the fact that 99% of Dutchman and -women are bicyclists themselves, so everybody is much more aware of and sympathetic with the presence of bicyclists and their vulnerability...

29:48 the red sign with the horizontal white bar indicates the road has one-way traffic and you can’t enter from this side. The little rectangular white sign directly below it states the exceptions (‘uitgezonderd’). In this case (as in most cases in the Netherlands) bikes are exempt from the rule meaning they may ride the road (a cyclist may ‘drive’ their bike) in both directions.

stopping lights are not placed at the opposite side of a road you want to cross, the light you saw that was first green and later red (time was 6.00) is only intended for bikers crossing the street and after that taking a left turn. The stopping light you should have looked at (not visible in your recording) must have been on the side of the road where you were waiting, your fellow bikers (at that crossing) obviously knew where to look. First time I drove a car in the USA it scared the shit out of me that I had to look at the opposite side of the road for stopping lights. It seems to depend on what your used, I however feel our system is more natural (obviously I'm biased). Best regards.

@gerritvalkering1068 11 місяців тому
The light where you got confused about the red or green and why everyone went? It's an American thing, mostly, Maybe Canadian too? Where the traffic lights are across the street. Dutch traffic lights are (almost) always before the intersection. Makes it less likely people accidentally drive onto the intersection while they're looking at the lights, and in the case of cars it often naturally pulls their attention to the bicycles on the side of the road as the lights are not overhead at all but the larger intersections, but to the left and right of the road. Summer is road construction season in Amsterdam. That's just the way it is. If the pedestrians are wary of the cyclists at a zebra crossing, they're tourists! Bel etiquette in The Netherlands: Ring once to alert someone you're there. Usually when you want to pass. Ring twice when you're getting annoyed Ring thrice when something is getting dangerous Ring all the bloody time for the tourists 29:45 - no entry for vehicles (little bar underneath: bicycles and scooters exempt) 34:25 - that's the red light for the cars XD. Bicycles can usually just go, though you're supposed to give way for pedestrians.

28:45 - Though it is labeled as open for cyclists and mopeds, it is mainly a pedestrian area, as shown by all those people walking at ease. This means that any other traffic allowed should yield to the pedestrians. No ringing your bell, unless a large solid group is unaware of your presence and blocking the street. These were just some scattered walkers for whom you do not ring, but slow down and wait for. The fun is that there is no need for road-style alerting your presence when people can see each other. Imagine that every cyclist would ring for such a situation, the atmosphere would be different and less pleasant. This area is in no way a fast route for cyclists, but with consideration for the pedestrians you can pass through.

In Holland there is one basic common rule and that is - smallest road user has priority in the city traffic!This is also for traffic on highway. So if you are on bike pedestrian in front of you has priority. If you are in the car -bikes and pedestrians have priority.. And all bigger cars, trucks, stock wagons have to grant the right of passage to all smaller traffic users. Problem is that no so many forigners know that rule, specialy those driving the cars and bikes.Cheers!
@sjoerdvelzen8255 8 місяців тому
Nothing of this is true. You're confusing priority with liability in case of an accident. For priority, the size of your vehicle is irrelevant. If I'm on my bicycle and I approach an intersection I have to give way to all road users coming from the right, regardless of their size. I have a Dutch driver's license btw.

21:28 You cycled right past the red traffic light. Often they are placed on the near side of the intersection for cyclists.

I believe scooters in the bikeline is legal in Amsterdam, so are the tiny cars.

Do you think it’s safe for someone who’s never experienced biking along with cars and people around? My 21 yr old daughter will be in Amsterdam for a whole month and she wants to tour around the city riding a bike

In Pattaya? I'm not sure I've never attempted that.

I would be cautious in the beginning. Amsterdam is fast paced, peoply cycle daily for work etc. Good for her to first learn the rules. And outside Amsterdam its much easier for her to start with I guess.

the blue board with the cycle just means that this is where the bike path ends. the blue board with two people walking is not allowed to cycle because this is a pedestrian zone. and you shouldn't cycle on the highway. other than that you can cycle everywhere.
