Shopping by bike (Netherlands)

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. You can always be assured that a man bicycling with a case of beerbottles on the back will be the most responsible and alert trafficer around...it's in our nature.
2. Yeah,well,it is just a hell often in the inner part of the cities to get a parking place close to the shops.So it is madness to do it with a car.Thats vastly different from other cities outside the Netherlands.Es specially compared to the US.
   And what is a Xtracycle?
3. I still find it curious in all these videos of people in the Netherlands loading down their bikes will goods and kids you never see a single Xtracycle Which would make using their bikes for hauling stuff so much more useful.
4. it's amazing ........................................................ wow
5. imagine riding a bike in the snow especially in the northern states of America. .that would be very challenging and you'll freeze to death..lol
6. A bicycle with a big front basket...
   That's how all the bicycles used to look like.
7. Shopping by bicycle helps local economy instead helping big stores which owners are family of billionaires.
   Owners of small local stores are far more likely to be a local resident also which likely to spend their profits locally.
   Get rid of the parking space on the street because they don't park there to shop. Make use of that space for bicycle lane and bicycle parking.
8. I never did get the hang of mounting a bike after getting it moving with only one foot on the pedal. Always felt like I was going flip on the side. These riders made it look so simple! Though maybe its not as hard to do with an open frame model that you can step through rather than a closed frame you have to get your leg over.
9. Looks like my kind of lifestyle right there,
   better than using cars.
   Less cars = less wrecks
   Hello from USA
10. Awesome.....America, we need to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
11. What if you buy 300 Euros worth of stuff and can't leave them unattanded with the bike. Afterwards your friend calls for a meeting in cafe. You just have to carry all your belongings with you to the cafe. Which is unpleasant. So cars win then. Or is it?
12. Videos like this, that try to make out the bicycle is the future in personal transport in solving congestion.
    
    It will not, because the car is not the cause of congestion, for it is people that drive cars, motorbikes, pushbikes even walk. That's your problem, PEOPLE!.
    
    But the human species cannot deal with that truth, so they try to make out if we all turn to pushbikes this will solve the congestion, it will not, it doesn't matter which form of transport you use even your own 2 feet, you're still suffer with congestion, for it is people that create and make congestion, not the vehicle they use.
    
    All the car does is show how overcrowded you are, for the congestion on your roads is a reflection of the congestion in your cities, towns, country and world.
    
    If you wish to solve the problem, then there is only one logical way. First you have to accept you live in a confined space a planet, it is not an endless space like you all wish to believe it is, it is a limited space, therefore you cannot have a species endlessly multiplying within it, but that's exactly what you've got.
    
    The only way to protect the environment you live in, and solve the problems you have created for yourselves, is to reduce the number of people in that confined space, down to a level that that confined space can naturally support.
    
    But you will not do that under any circumstances, so you carry on with these fantasy solutions to the problems you have created by not controlling your numbers in the first place.
    
    This planet has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and so have the billions of species all living in total harmony with each other in this confined space, because each species complements each other in keeping each species numbers in check, so not one over populates and destroys the environment for themselves and everybody else.
    
    You all claim you are intelligent, where is the proof, you can't even work out how to get about on a daily basis without it creating a problem, you can't even work out when is the best time to have a child, that's why you are infested with child poverty, so I ask you again, where's the proof you are an responsible species let alone an intelligent one?.
    
    I'll end this by saying this.
    
    Nothing intelligent, would behave in such a way that its actions would bring harm, in danger or destroy its own environment.
    
    Nothing intelligent, would use or do something that would create a problem for itself or others.
    
    I ask you again how can the human species claim it's an intelligent species, when you can't live up to the definition of the word intelligent.
    
    Your leaders are that stupid, they embrace everything that's wrong, everything they embrace along with you lot,  will result in the total annihilation not only of your species but you're planet.
    
    A responsible and intelligent species, don't make me laugh, is the biggest joke ever to involve on the planet, that if you did?
    
    Because your behaviour is to that of a virus then anything intelligent.

16. Cool to see that what's normal to us is not normal for everyone. My daughter was 4 years old when she drove her bike to the shop for the first time by herself. I should do it more but i'm so lazy. 
17. Very nice images.
18. Love it! Other counties need to follow suit.
