[Ep. 1022] Two rides through the Alexia Tunnel in Hilversum. More info about this tunnel in the video here: • A unique stacked tunne... and the blog post here: bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p...
@@pjotrtje0NLin Europe for sure, but in North America there are those pick-up trucks and SUV’s with primitively designed engines and relatively loud exhaust pipes that Europeans car manufacturers stopped using by in the 80’s.
i feel so sad seeing children in north America peers through car windows. perhaps that's why I so love seeing children on bikes connecting with the world and knowing they will be the next generation. hope!
@@kempo_95 don't be so selfish please, but as middleway, you could made a Netherland school of traffic planning and road engineering with applicants form every country that could be interested... but i think the engineering is only a part of the problem, political interest in some parts of the world isn't even a thing...
The white wall cladding is made by the same company as that of the Pieter Smitbrug. I worked for that company and was involved in both projects. Nice to see this on your channel.
oh then you might be able to answer the question people were debating elsewhere in the comments: are the holes drilled or laser cut? (would be especially funny if they were water jet cut or something and you can prove both sides wrong 😜)
I don't be want to be rude, But I think it is difficult to navigate their with recumbent bicycles. (Or velomobiles) Because of the exit and entree of the tunnel. You really need to know where too enter from the second side. And with double cycle traffic recumbent riders can't see what is comming because of the walls. I didn't try it yet, but that is for me what it looks like for me right now. Also for velomobiles is it steep because they are heavy without a motor or electric assist. Still the double layered tunnel idea is really amazing and haven't seen that before.(I think)
Maar voor de 99.9% van de gebruikers van de fietstunnel is het geen probleem. Het voordeel van deze tunnel weegt toch wel echt op tegen het nadeel van de door u beschreven fietstype.
Toch zou een weg design voor iedereen veilig moeten zijn. Ligfietsen worden echt overal vergeten. Terwijl ze ook al over de 100 jaar rondrijden. Dat is gewoon weer erg jammer. Verder ziet het er netjes uit, maar dus niet praktisch en niet helemaal veilig voor ligfietsers. En die groep is behoorlijk groeiende met steeds meer driewielfietsen.
It's amazing how much more noise the cars add.
Though most people think it’s the car engines, it’s the tires that actually create most of the noise in a town.

And that motorbike in the bike line
Interesting video. Well done!
Another great infra design from the Netherlands👍🏼

I bet the Netherlands can make a good income hiring out its innovative traffic planners and civil engineers to other countries!
We need them for our own country 😂

I just wish they wouldn't name everything after the goddamn royal family. But I'm from Limburg 🤷♀️
the goddamn royal family tunnel would be a great name!
really interesting design. cheers for sharing it.
Os vídeos são legais, acompanho sempre que possível, estou em Nossa Senhora da Glória/ SE Brasil

@@jaapweel1Neither. The holes were punched on a Trumatic 5000. I believe it was in 4mm thick almg4,5 sheet.
Great
That is indeed quite steep. I guess that's what you get as a compromise in those restricted circumstances.
You already get a lot of momentum from going down
Steep? That's the flattest piece of land in Ankara lol
