‘Huub Schoonschip’ is now Hely Hub Amsterdam.
Amsterdam may have a parking problem for bicycles, but imagine the problem they'd have if everyone swapped their bicycle for a car.
Too many bicycles...
What a wonderful problem to have.
The guy you interviewed from Schoon Schip is an absolute chad, loved the video
The traffic flow mechanization around the Arena is insane. All that to see some people being chaotic on a field. I can also stay in the city and be a cycle anarchist. ;) For the rest wonderful story and people looking for more I can advise the channel Not Just Bikes, which has excellent videos on almost all aspects mentioned in this video.
Waldemar Torenstra is not just the initiator of a local project, lol. Dude's a famous Dutch actor and presentator, and probably independently wealthy for a while now. It makes the point about him being able to adjust to a more humble, car-free life a little more understandable, given the flashy lifestyle associated with being a celebrity.
Amsterdam isn't the best biking city in the Netherlands. Groningen for example is better, Utrecht too.
And it's not only Amsterdam that's bike friendly. The whole of the Netherlands is.
Klopt ben het helemaal met U eens
Its AMSTERDAM not EMSTERDEM
It almost sounds as if this cycling culture is something dating from the corona crisis! And if it's less than Kopenhagen, and has to still develop for the greater part!
Whereas it's excisting for a few decades now (of course still improving), it's not only Amsterdam but the whole of the Netherlands, and Kopenhagen is nothing compared to it.
Not a great video imo
Hi Maria, thank you very much for your sharing your opinion! Much appreciated. Copenhagen is mentioned as an example which has developed a lot when it comes to cycling and has learned from Dutch cities such as Amsterdam. Viceversa, experts in this documentary learn from and are inspired by cities or countries who are relatively 'new' when it comes to cycling, because they are sometimes better able to start with a clean sheet. We have also interviewed other Bicycle Mayors form other cities. Have a look at www.intertraffic.com/news/cycling-the-globe-bicycle-mayors-amsterdam-bangalore-mexico-city/ or www.intertraffic.com/news/cycling-the-globe-bicycle-mayors-mumbai-rome-victoria/ in case you are interested.
@@intertraffic Thanks, I'll do that
Bike maffia !! 😂😂😂
I am just joking before i get attacked by left party grass eaters friends 🤓
I have a bike myself and I dont own a car because I am kenker skeer 😁
Good video, however... ANY comparison with the Netherlands and Copenhagen is just utter bullshit. I can understand why you would do this, as for some reason Copenhagen is known as the "best cycling city in the world", but if Copenhagen is miles ahead of the rest of the world, I dare to argue that even the WORST city in the Netherlands is miles ahead of Copenhagen.
Absolute truth, NotjustBikes made a very good video about that, and nobody can deny that indeed any place in the Netherlands trumps Copenhagen.
True
Amsterdam needs to improve the situation for PEDESTRIANS...
Well,then look at today!They blocked the main street in Amsterdam and everyone is mad about it!(Weesperstraat!)Then al the cars have to go through the side streets were the had a quit street,but now they have a lot of cars through the street..
I think it’s absolute hipocrisy to tell people not to take their car
I would love to take the train! I would!
the problem is that going there with 4 people it’s a 30km drive each way, and parking is maybe 34 euros, so combined it costs around 40 euros for transport
but taking the train would cost almost 10 euros per direction PER PERSON
so that would cost us almost 80 euros for a trip, that’s twice as expensive!
stop blaming the people, NS should lower their prices so people can actually afford it
Amsterdam was not build for cars. That’s true. But it wasn’t build for bikes either. It was build for boats and pedestrians with some horses. Cycling is slowly becoming a religion. We no longer look at the negatives. True believers no longer have to follow the law. Amsterdam is indeed a bicycle heaven, unfortunately their heaven is for bicycles only. Not a very inclusive bunch of people.
the end of your comment makes 0 sense
You can walk in Amsterdam too and if your destination is too far, you can take public transport: Tram, bus, metros and even trains.
A friend of mine walked everywhere in Amsterdam South and outside South he took the bus or tram.
Another friend lives in North, but thanks to the North-South subway line, she is in 10 minuten in South.
Sure, I know what you mean, the sidewalks are too narrow and clogged with bicycles. Also most cyclists do not respect the traffic rules, like stopping at the pedestrian zebra crossing for pedestrians.
Why are bikes promoted? Because you can reach any destination within Amsterdam on your bike. Even remote South East/ Bijlmer.
@@mardiffv.8775 Sidewalks are only too narrow because cyclists use them. This is against the law but nonetheless every cyclist does it. I was born and raised in Amsterdam and still live there. In South your lucky to not get hit by cyclists as a pedestrian. You need eyes in the back of your head to guard yourself against the unpredictable behaviour of cyclists in our public space. Your friend that lives in North must live very close to the metro. Most inhabitants of this area have seen an actual reduction of available bus lines resulting in a serious problem if you wish to use public transport in North. Most of us hate the metro as it is completely useless.
