bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. The 84% of the population who own bikes, own 18 million bikes for an population of 17 million...
2. why whe cycle so much? because we are not lazy
3. How you Dutch gonna carry 50 bottles of Heineken?
4. Shit wish america went into battle but these fat fucks are lazy one reason I'm over here in the first place lol
5. their is no cycling culture. The Dutch just cycle.
6. This cycling culture is amazing! I hope one day North America, can be like this.
7. I am from the Netherlands and the only reason why I cycle is because my school is 11 kilometers from my home and there are no busses.
8. i haven't watched the video, but the answer is: because the netherlands is flat as a pancake
9. because americans are too fat to ride one
10. The Netherlands isn't the triumph you make it out to be: cyclists are BANNED from many roads, instead obliged to use cobbled cycle paths that are narrow and crowded. Hard to get moving on a bike there. Frankly 878km/year is very little (~3km/day) Meanwhile, the motorists enjoy immaculate smooth asphalt everywhere on a network of motorways. And good luck with crossing the road in towns which are effectively cycle priority. So no. To be imitated only with very large pinch of salt.
11. Because the schools are so close
12. We do it CUZ WERE NOT LAZY
13. Yes they ride those ugly bikes because it´s all plain wherever you go: I want to see them riding those ugly stupid bikes here where i live and using it daily. So: BULSHIT
14. You do know that the protest you showed was about the metro line in Amsterdam right? Not about highways? The line "Geen buizen maar huizen" is about the metro tunnels below the city centre of Amsterdam. But great video. :D
15. I've hated commuting to work by auto nearly every day of the last 37 years since leaving the convenience of a city due to a job relocation. Wish we had safer avenues for bikes around here, I'd love to use mine more often.
16. Haha it's so funny to see that people really ae wondering why we Netherlanders cycle so much....like the video says the history and stuff but that's everything...we also cycle a lot because we really have to know how to cycle....it's part of our life.we begin mostly at the age of 5,6 or even sometimes 4...woowwhy because at that age you need to learn to ride to school mostly with mom or dad or both.later when you get older your parents let you go alone or with your younger brother and sister.we also got a exam for cycling.when you go to high school your alone or with friends and then it all starts.you ribe every day to school (the most of us) if it rains or snows or extremely hot you keep cycling to your sport or hobby's clubs' etc.later you got your work so you mostly learn more about riding at night time or when your tired but still you keep riding.why?we all just got a bike and we all want to go some else and the bike/ cycle is the only option if your under 16 (age).we don't really like scooters' because the most of them are younger people who don't listen to the rules.and a car is available at 18 (age) and even when you got a car you keep cycling to the store or walk.you keep cycling to you friends.because after all these years of cycling you can cycle more than 100 miles.we are a country who learns , keep cycling until  the end and why because we can .....and don't know anything better.bam explanation.....from Netherland.
17. 1 reason why we (Dutch civilians) ride a bike: it's faster/easier.
18. wtf stop kindermoord? WTF!
19. we use bikes cuz we arent old enough and when we are we dont have the money for the driver license we are poor XD JK
20. Funny how everything they protested against is happening nowadays, and nobody is doing anything to stop it.
