Cycling the Dutch way …..

I made a short video in which you see just some cyclists on a bike path near a busy intersection in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. It was warm and sunny weather and because it was noon you see relatively more children.

The way cyclists dress and behave is different compared to countries with less bicycle density. No helmets and most bicycles have a shopping basket !

I took the images in about 20 minutes time, so what you see is not a good average.

A professional video about cycling friendly cities is below :

Good old cycling times.

When I first saw these videos, I had to laugh ! They show the British bicycle culture as it was way back in 1955. If you’re too old to die young, then you’ll go back in memory when seeing these two vid’s ………

Nowadays there are a lot of car-drivers in England who just hate the cyclists, for instance the British columnist Matthew Parris who wrote about this issue in Time .
