Cycling in the snow, Utrecht (Netherlands)
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
First snow in winter 2010/2011. It wasn't heavy snow, but it did fall all day so the streets couldn't be cleared of it. Such a thin layer of snow didn't stop anybody cycling though. The video was taken around 3 in the afternoon. Many children were already going home after school and a lot of students and women were on their bicycles in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. It wasn't rush hour yet.

The winters in Holland are very soft and They put salt on the bikeroads early in the morning So that nobody Will fall down

This is not how people cycle in England, it's much more macho like they're in a race.

I have snow and ice biked in the US for 45 + years and was surprised by this video This video, these riders are amazing I would expect to see more people fall this takes a lot of skill I hate to admit it but if this was the US, 50 of these people would have crashed hard during this video! sooo amazing to see!

I have been riding my bicycle everywhere I go for almost exactly 10 years. To the store, work and home, to go visiting, etc. I consider myself a seasoned rider. However, it just hit me. These cyclist are coming within mere inches of one another. I think that would take some getting used to for me. I can see myself in such traffic. I would be wobbly and timid like I was just learning how to ride. I have free roam where I live. Within a day of riding about the town, I may see five cyclist. That includes the kids. On a day with perfect riding whether, the number may be about a dozen. So, I don't have to share my space at any time. The town I live in is only about 45,000 people, so it isn't very big. I am fascinated with the Netherlands way of life where the bicycle is concerned. Probably other things too, but cycling is my passion, my sanity.
The video I am watching now makes 69 of the 84 you have available. I have the weekend off and started these yesterday. I love cycling that much. It would be totally awesome if we were on board like this. -
Person running at 1:18 didn't get the memo that the others were taking their bikes in the snow... hahah poor thing!

Понравилились три момента.
Все показывают повороты, и никто ни скем не сталкивается.
Ездят достаточно быстро, везут на багажниках подружек, а ведь там скользко!
Негру не холодно:-) -

-
We get you, Utrecht. Montréal has the same weather.

Great stuff!

Why do they all have those silly looking upright handlebars? I hardly ever see them hear in the UK.
-
Only in America...never.

But, but... who won?
-
its very dangerous to drive a bike on slippery roads. you can break your skull. the dutch get more and more richtwing. maybe its because of falling from bikes on their heads...

I rode to school during Chicago's winter polar vortex. Some days it felt like -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

american law logic
go in bicycle=obligated to wear the helmet
go in motorcycle=not obligated
so why you continue to critique us europeans?
