Nov 3, 2011 - If only Australian governments spent a fraction more providing better cycling infrastructure rather than new freeways and tunnels for cars. We need to adopt cycling as a normal part of life, not something only those wearing Lycra and riding road bike do.

StlyDutch Says:

Nov 22, 2011 - We obviously know it's more healthy.. I don't think anyone believes in buying health o.o (how does that work??..). But that's not the main reason why we cycle. We cycle because it's fast and most of all it's just part of our culture. When you don't have to leave the city, you automatically take the bike and don't even think about your car.

Dec 22, 2011 - I come from Utrecht and the only simple reason we travel on bicycle is because its faster. Our city center is so old that it is almost impossible to go trough it with a car. From the part of the town I live, it wil cost me 30 minutes to the center with a car, 20 minutes with the bus and only15 minutes with my bicycle :D!

Dec 24, 2011 - I'm from Holland, and I made a really nice bike tour in San Francisco from South Market via Fishermans Wharf around the Golden Gate Bridge and back through Golden Gate Park. And I'm fat! So stop complaining :).

Grauwsaur Says:

Dec 24, 2011 - Didn't you pay attention at 0:40?

Grauwsaur Says:

Dec 24, 2011 - In the hilly parts people use helmets sometimes. But Utrecht's flat and the bike infrastructure is good so you don't have much to fear from cars.

kfrdrck Says:

Dec 31, 2011 - Where is the snow this year?! We moved from California to Utrecht a few months ago and were hoping for our first ever white Christmas...maybe next year!

mrispens Says:

Jan 2, 2012 - We don't use helmets probably cause our cycling culture is way older than the health&safety movements

markenlei Says:

Jan 3, 2012 - we didn't have a white christmas in about 40 years, then we had two in a row. This one was green again. As was to be expected. But the winter can still turn very cold until the end of February or even in March.

StlyDutch Says:

Jan 10, 2012 - It might still come.. Just 3 or 4 years ago (don't quite remember) we had snow until march.. But yah, I have to admit, so far it's been a very mild winter.

Jan 10, 2012 - do you miss cali?

robinjonk Says:

Jan 12, 2012 - why would they?

djkenny Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - No dangerous cars at our home in Portland, OR. One can very easily carry an infant, a child or 2, or 3 children on a bike. There is so many great seats available out there.

djkenny Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - To keep from being sweaty, yeah, I a shower at work would be nice...but in all honesty, these folks are nto riding like they are in a race. They ride in a mellow, easy, civilized manner. Here in the USA we think "Lycra" style.

djkenny Says:

Jan 16, 2012 - Helmets would be over kill. The bikes have designated paths on the streets. Totally over kill. People ride with infants in front boxes sitting in a seat you might have in your living room. Nice way to be able to live.

Rikketje88 Says:

Jan 17, 2012 - deze kerst was tegek! komt dr nu nog wat van?

norbu1987 Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - wow not a single mountain bike lol all were like schwinn old people's bicycle hahahaha if i were there i would rock the cyclist on my goped and eletric scooter which is for snow

Zoza15 Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - We had snow end Januari and begin februari.. We had it later..1 thing you must learn about the Netherlands, the weather here is unprodictable..

Zoza15 Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - Ofcourse we have gyms..

jhcfight Says:

May 15, 2012 - It's always the same with the first big snowfall. Cycling commuters like me are mostly the only ones to arrive on time at work. The others, who travel by car and bus, are coming in too late on such days.
