American Reacts to The German City with More Bikes than Cars | Not Just Bikes Reaction

The town is very much like a town, within the Netherlands, only the landscape is different.

Car ownership is very expensive in Germany and the Netherlands, but it is affordable in Spain, for example. All these countries do have the same regulations concerning the safety of the car. The extra costs are fuel and taxes on cars. The Netherlands is very expensive, Germany is expensive and Spain has reasonable prices, when it comes to taxes and fuel for cars.

I suspect one reason many cities don't have grass on streetcar layouts is related to the cost of maintenance. Just look at the bushes at 20:17 planted around the high voltage posts. They are neatly trimmed, just like the grass. That certainly costs. At the end of the day, however, something like this is surely only a question of the political will to start and realize something like this. I'm afraid, to accomplish something like this in the USA is probably quite hopeless.

Hi Charlie great seeing you again!!👍

Lots of states in the US have mandatory automobile inspection…. and, I have tio say, knowing both cities, that Freiburg and Rotterdam have very little in common, architecturally…and it"s no where the Netherlands, being in the extreme south of Germany..

3:20 The "Bächle" (diminutive of Bach = brook) in Freiburg are supplied with water from the Dreisam, the small river passing through Freiburg. They exist at least since 1220 AD and were used for the irrigation of fields below the town, but also to provide water for domestic animals (e.g. horses) as well as for firefighting. (Since wells had to dug 12 meters deep they also used wooden pipes to bring water from nearby springs into town, but that was strictly reserved for human consumption.) The runnels helped also to drain rain water out of town, but that was not their main purpose. They were also not meant for sewage; actually it was forbidden to use them for waste disposal since the 16th century (before that it was only forbidden during daylight).
7:07 The (inner) Freiburg ring road circles around the old town. It consists of the B31 (Federal Road 31, connecting Breisach at the French border with Lindau at the Austrian border, thereby crossing the southern Black Forest) in the South, the Schlossbergring (the part he is mainly talking about) in the East, separating the old town from the Schlossberg (palace hill), the Friedrichring in the North and the Bismarckallee / Schnewlinstraße in the West, which separates the old town from the railway and the main station.
21:50 Freiburg is the "western gate" to the Black Forest, situated at the foot of the hills in the East, while the Upper Rhine valley lies in the West. There are many vineyards around Freiburg.

15:00 – it's about 270 miles further south from the Netherlands, so in european standarts not quite…

u should try a german car driving licence test 😀 this is nothing like the us . we have to learn about 1000 questions

You can work on your car yourself in Germany it´s just the safty related things like brakes you should always have done by a professional shop because in case of an accident your insurence won´t cover if you did it yourself and aren´t trained.

a ring road is a road that goes all around the city and has .. a ring form ! It is quite common in Europe. Most of the time they have 3 or more ways.

The Asthon channel is really awesome u should give it a try.

I live near the Netherlands in the north of Germany and we have a ton of solar on the houses here too and a lot of windmills for getting Electricity.

U can even invest with people's to build one together with a bank and sell the Electricity.
