First snow in winter 2010/2011. It wasn’t heavy snow, but it did fall all day so the streets couldn’t be cleared of it. Such a thin layer of snow didn’t stop anybody cycling though. The video was taken around 3 in the afternoon. Many children were already going home after school and a lot of students and women were on their bicycles in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. It wasn’t rush hour yet.

As a Asian lady, no snow in my country . I am so much wonder, even one day to experience to cycling in the snow place. What feels like. I know is cold but I think I can handle it. Hehe! God bless Utrecht .
Would drive me crazy trying to ride on bike paths packed with slow moving cyclists like that. Can you ride on the roads with the cars in Holland?
Im soooooo jealous!!! I want to ride my bike there. Do bikes have some kind of speed limit there??
Это не снег. Вот когда пешком трудно топать, не говоря уже о велосипеде, посмотрел бы я на голландских любителей велопрогулок.
I'm Dutch and cycling in the snow isn't that hard, but it's NO fun. You get snow in your face, but snow isn't nearly as bad as when the roads were covered in ice like two years ago. I still had to go to school and I slipped and hurt my arm. It wasn't a bad injury but fuck that

At the very beginning, the first italian voice: "Madonna dell'Incoronata", and the second italian: "We are not going to have any sun today".
no snow tyres, or chains!
I am surprised that so many of them have their seats set so low. I would think in country that has so many bikers they would know how to use the machine more efficiently.
а потОм они весь день воняют пОтом
I notice so many bikes all together parked, do people even bother to lock their bikes there?
In the U.S. An unlocked bike is a stolen bike.
I didn't see anyone fall or even slide amazing
I used to live in the flats too. Traveling is easy now I live in mountains and the brakes require constant adjustments or replacing. When will they make ebikes like cars with adjustable regenerative brakes
wish I am living in Netherlands. happy riding.
If you feel you need a helmet. Make sure it has a propeller on it. 😁
5:46 на красный свет едут?
I love cycling but you guys could really use some mtb's Mountain Bikes They're all season and much more accessible friendly Just an opinion "Food for thought" Otherwise looks to be a very cycle friendly nation Love it!
only black ice can stop us.
Ne güzel sürüyorlar huzur içinde keşke bizim ülkede olsa ahhh😍😍😍
I hope they all have studded or winter tires, and why not wearing helmets?
Practical bicycles with fenders! Awesome!
They need to switch to fat tire bikes .
wow, best thing to do while snowing is riding a bike.
This is heaven
So much respect to the brave souls.
How to pronounce Utrecht,
Yootrekt.

According to the comments under the video posted above, the pronunciation is completely wrong.
If any Dutch native reading this, what's the right pronunciation?
According to this video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYv6EqW5Bok
It's "ootre" with cht at the end sounds like g but very quiet, almost silent.
0:57 left corner
A bicycle on its side.
Some body must have made a spill.
It's quite amazing we don't wee more of those.
It gets very slippery on the snow or ice, tire gets locked very easily specially the rear wheel.
They must be very good at riding in those conditions.
Do they have special tires?
If we have that much snow in England everything stop. Even the Range Rovers.
I don't see people wearing a lot of styrofoam hats! when you calm the traffic, and do a much better job of keeping the cars off of people, seems like those hats aren't even needed!

Where is the bicycle snow plow?
No bitching, no complaining. No "it's too cold". The Dutch just git 'er done!
I share this clip to anyone in Russia complaining about "the wrong climate".
Ben ik de enige die gefascineerd is door de gespreksflarden die voorbijkomen?
[nature documentary narration]: in snowy or icy conditions, difficult decisions have to be made. Roads and bikeways are salted and bulldozed in such conditions to clear a path for the foremost traffic users: cars and bicycles.
Pedestrians have a hard time surviving in those conditions. Since most Dutch have no specialized snow boots, they will most often resort to walking on the bikelanes.
Bicycle users are not oblivious to their plight and will tolerate these much slower traffic users on their domain. For now.
Came to see the falls…
Ah, when snow was normal in winter, Now we are having 30+ C summers, you better get used to it people! And no is not global warming, it's the Illuminati newest program😏
to me, riding bicycle even in winter and snowy weather is a sign of development.
All weather biking is the best, and the Netherlands is the best in biking!
I think that nothing can stop these people from riding their bikes
What is the winter average temperature there?
How dont they ever slip and fall ?
I prefer it when you add commentary to your videos
I am always amazed when people cycle in the sno w. I don't go out in the snow let alone in a bike. Great video as usual.
1970: look at the backwards Chinese with cities full of bikes but no cars.
2020: look at how advanced they are in the Netherlands, they ride bikes!
I like hearing the natural sounds, without background music. I can hear that cities are not noisy, cars are noisy!
Send this to anyone who says "people can't cycle in bad weather"
Does the snow build up a lot here?
