Bicycle Ride in Bussum (Netherlands)

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. At 5:43 it is important to note that this is a one-way cycle track. There is another one at the other side of the main road. The dashed line indicates the edge of the sidewalk, not the other half of a dual cycle track. Cycle tracks would never be constructed so close to the exits of gardens. That would be like waiting for accidents to happen.The signpost is on the edge of the sidewalk. This is not how things are normally arranged. Usually there's a small height difference between the two, to indicate where cyclists and pedestrians should go (see 8:17).
2. Looks so expensive and useless
3. Why are the sight-lines become better, when the cyclepath bends away from the roadway?
4. I just got back from a ten day tour of the Netherlands with my wife and two friends. We saw two days of le Tour de France in Utrecht and then spent the rest of the holiday touring all around. We spent time in Otterlo, Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and of course Utrecht. It was your videos that made me want to go see the Netherlands for myself and I am so grateful to you. It ranks as one of the best holidays I have ever had. We used the AirBNB app to find places to stay and met some amazing people. In Utrecht, whilst watching the time trial, we met two Dutchmen a Spaniard and a Frenchman who insisted on getting my wife and I drunk! They even cheered all the team SKY riders with us! Of course we reciprocated every time a Dutch rider went by. :-)
   The cycling is simply amazing and how the whole world should be. Your videos are brilliant but it can't even come close to showing how good it is. You have to see it for yourself. I can guarantee we will be back for many trips. Thank you.
5. Once again a lovely documentation of our bicycle infrastructure. 
6. Great videos, a question I have is how are garbage containers/bins dealt with in the Netherlands? They always seem to end up on a sidewalk or blocking a bike lane in my country which is terrible. What is the solution?
7. I really enjoy your videos like this with commentary.  What may seem normal and not worth commenting about to dutch eyes are the sort of things that make or break good infrastructure, and even well-meaning designers (specially in north america) seem to miss.  Are all these solutions basically laid out in the CROW manual or is a lot just a matter of local/national tradition and experience?
8. Does the pedestrian have a priority on a bike bath? For example at a bus stop, where the shelter is separated by bike bath from a sidewalk?
9. Question: how do you know which crossing road you have the priority ? thank you very much for your video.  I am looking forward to your reply.
10. Thank you for a great video that not only showed the wonderful and far-sighted bicycle infrastructure of the Netherlands, but also some of the trains and bicycle parking and rental.  Please include more of the public transportation in future videos, it is quite informative and inspiring to a citizen of the U.S.
11. Very nice video, you live in a very good country for cycling, I just wish that some of our politicians here in the UK would wake up and start planning some decent cycleways across the UK
12. You cover your card twice, but one is missing at 0:20.
13. I live in Hilversum, which is quite close by where you started your cycle tour. You picked a nice day to cycle in a nice environment. Good video!
14. That approximately 5:45 in the video I was surprised to see an unpainted metal post right in the middle of the pathway. This looks like it would be a hazard at night or other times when the visibility is poor. Any ideas on why that has not been marked more clearly?
15. To a foreign eye like myself your country is bicycle heaven. I really envy your country's bicycle infrastructure. While we do have some decent bike lanes from where I'm from, the question I always ask "would you let your kids ride on them" my answer "absolutely not".
    Thank you again for another great video.
16. Attention Lazy Americans and blind Politicians,please build(where possible) your bicycle infrastructure copying the Netherlands bike structure!!
    
    Thanks Mark for the continuing videos!
