Cycling Culture in the Netherlands - Drunk, Texting, No Lights & At the Wrong Side of the Road
<center><a href='https://dtube.video/#!/v/edje/tstwpbz1'><img src='https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbSnCKXbdurt8wJvdwwcXsEukixgM88mk1zE6YQe2tTcB'></a></center><hr>Lucas Brailsford and Sergiusz Sytniejewski - with great support of the Urban Cycling Institute - made this funny and somehow also informative video about our Dutch Cycling behaviour.

I can say, living in Amsterdam I experience daily the wild west of the streets. Full of cyclers. Although the law have rules, the average cyclist does not seem to obey them at all. Maybe this has to do with the fact cyclists have priority over cars, at all times, regardless what the cyclist does. Sometimes, the police force is trying to do something against the 'I Own the World' behaviour of cyclists, but no police force - how big or how heavy they are - in the world is able to change this culture. With more than 600.000 citizens living in Amsterdam we have at least half of them on the road, each (working) day. And most of them at the same time, in the morning and afternoon. **The modern Wild West of West Europe.**

Check the video for a quick introduction to our (Dutch) cycle culture, and how it all come to this. Fun guaranteed!

Cycling is indeed a great way to get go about when exploring new areas. More Dutchies get themselves a electrical cycle, also a great tool to move with. I prefer an electrical scooter though :)

true edje! of cause depends on the lenght of travel, traveling large distance, between cities might be more fun powering up with electricity 😃

I always loved cycling to work and was able to do so for 5 years! No phone for me during cycling though... I hate that rude and dangerous behaviour :-(

It is indeed very dangerous to ride the bike with a phone in the hand, but so many do it! Cyclists therefore are also dangerous for those who walk the streets.  I like cycling, but only when it is not raining :)

Aye, I've seen it in Groningen a lot aswell. Another true cycling city.
Good point about the rain! I got my rain pants, but I much prefer dry cycling weather ;-)

I enjoyed this video. It was well produced and full on interesting info. As for the drunk "lawless cyclists," at least they are keeping the air cleaner by not using a vehicle.

Yep Yep, the air should indeed be cleaner, but then again, some part of Amsterdam has quite polluted air, well not as bad as some other European cities or LA or something but some parts are to high for the EU regulation to build new homes. But yeh, guess we bike for various reasons, and while doing so keep the environment a little cleaner and better :)
