Amsterdam: The Bicycling Capitol of Europe



Uploaded by: MichaelBauch
Video Description:
Amsterdam has created a bicycle friendly city that promotes a healthier, more active lifestyle for its residents. With people meeting face to face instead of bumper to bumper, the city challenges us to rethink our car centered-lives here in the United States.

I visited Amsterdam ... ( 3 months ago by andrew097)
I visited Amsterdam a couple of years ago and was inspired to get back on my bike. Im convinced that the old Granny bike is the key its safe, easier then walking and the quickest thing in a city. Every journey time is door to door. I live in Dublin which is quite hilly but the Granny bike and its relaxed style is the only way to get around. Go try it. ps my bike is a grandad bike with 7 speed gears which make hills easy.

Sorry to comment but the Europpean Union has being the greatest thing for Europe it seems up to the WW2 every generation of European leaders would just start another war that wrecked the place. In the 50 yrs of the EU we have had a generation grow up who have not being slaughtered in some European field. Sure there will always be diffrences but we talk each other to death now, a lot better

YOu don't need a bikerslicence. Other than that, you might find our country a bit socialistic. In an economic way that is, with high taxes and lots of forms and rules for everything. A bit to much IMO. OTOH, we are very liberal in prostitution, drugs etc. That's good.
It's not that ... ( 3 months ago by wernerrietveld)
It's not that dangerous when you remember that:
- most cardrivers expect and care about bikers
- there are a lot of dedicated cyclingpaths
- mosts Dutch learn to cycle almost immediately when they can walk, and do it all the time
- most people cycle pretty slow, only about 10 mph.
I only wear a helmet on my MTB, not when I ride my bike in the city.
That is good. Drugs ... ( 3 months ago by BanjoNaps)
That is good. Drugs and prostitution is good. I don't think it really matters if a country is socialistic these days. I don't think anywhere is operating under a free market system. The USA is just one big mercantile nightmare with the constitution hanging by a thread. 2/3s of the world is either a dictatorship or a "democracy" that tosses away individual rights whenever the mob gets goaded into fear. Anyways... Peace and happiness be with the dutch people! Humanity will be free one day!

There weren't any bike taxis when this movie was made - the bike taxis are here only a couple of years now, after the yellow trams disappeared (being replaced by the combino's... yech).

hehe, the difference with Holland and many other countries is that Holland is pretty flat and small. So cycling is easy, in other countries distances may be much longer and not so flat, so bikes wouldnt be so convienent.

@ reljin2; 'No licenses required!?!?! No
 helmets required??!?! WHAT IS THIS PLACE? SOME SORT OF LIBERTARIAN ANARCHIST FREE-FOR-ALL!??!?!!?' What's so difficult about riding a bicycle? And what's so unsafe about riding a bicycle? If you learn it on early age and you're careful and the cars, busses and other forms of transportation are
used to having bikes all around, it's not so unsafe as you might think.
