1. the little old ladies are so cute
2. excellent video
3. hello
4. When I was 13-14 years old, my mum would lend me her bike and let me take my 1 year old baby brother for rides around the neighborhood until he fell asleep on my hand while driving. On my own.
   And we're not talking short little rides around the block here, I would take him for five, sometimes ten kilometer rides! On my own, as a 13 year old girl.
   
   In the Netherlands, trafic situations are so well-regulated and children are so proficient with bikes and trafic, that this kind of thing is completely normal!
   
   I rode my bike to school from age 5 with my mum and younger sister, and started riding with only my sister when I was 10. We had to go for two and a half kilometers, from our village to the next, and we had to cross a busy intersection with trafic lights.
   When I was twelve, I biked to secondary school, which was an 8 kilometer ride, with two friends. One of those friends had to go another eight kilometers on her own before we all met up. At age ELEVEN because she had skipped a year.
   
   And again, there is no question in the Netherlands whether you go by bike or not. Some kids live too far away and take a train or bus for a part of their journey, but they'll bike to the bus stop or from the station to school.
   If you're a healthy kid, you can only be excused from your daily bike rides if either the roads are covered in at least 20 centimeters of snow (I once biked to school through 15 centimeters, and the roads had not been cleaned), or if the national weather station gives off a weather alarm because it's storming at 10 bft or the streets are covered with a one centimeter layer of solid ice (happened this winter, it was awesome). Otherwise, you suck it up and get on your bike like everyone else XD
5. This was pretty relaxing to watch. I wanna go ride my bike now.
6. It's great...

9. Netherlands: Best Country to Cycle.
10. wonderful video. I'm visiting Netherlands with my husband as soon as we have a break from work. I love cycling, I'm from Argentina but married my Bostonian husband so we live in MA. Neither Arg. nor MA is safe to ride a bicycle. there's been 14+ cyclist killed by cars and trucks here in Boston alone. There were two recent ones on the same day two weeks ago. I'm shaken and shocked and very sad. great video to teach the world how happy people could be by riding a bike.
11. Nice vid!
12. Riding a bike is fun and good exercise.........walking, bicycles and mass transit will all be part of making cities livable.
    Ride to school.........ride to work.........ride for fun...........
    Bike to work day should be everyday..... employers needs to provide places to park and lock bicycles and encourage employees to ride a bicycle to work. Children should be riding a bike to school instead of being dropped off by their parents. Cities need to do more to provide safe walking and biking trails and paths that connect homes, schools and businesses. Speak up and ask for more bicycle paths in your community. Obesity is a growing problem around the world leading to an increase in heart disease, cancer and high blood pressure. Walking and biking can help improve health.
13. Since this is Europe, maybe the country is too small in Area and there's no enough space to drive many cars just like many other European countries.
14. Looks like they don't believe in wearing helmets. The one time I didn't wear my helmet, I fell and got a concussion. That was 35 years ago; the doctors still can see that injury in my brain scan. Do as you please, but realize it's easy to get a head injury.
15. spot the fatties...
16. Would love to live somewhere else in the world where there isn't as much addiction to automobiles as here. I have several older collector bikes but wouldn't dare try to ride beyond the rural road our house is on because too many drivers refuse to obey basic traffic safety laws.
17. Women are just as bad cycling bikes than they are driving cars
