People of all ages cycle in the Netherlands. Making the streets safe enough for people from the age of 8 to 80 is not something to strive for but already a reality. This video focuses on the more senior and the very young cycling in the Netherlands. You don’t have to look hard. Older people and children are everywhere. In fact the typical cyclists in other countries (fit males aged 20-35) are underrepresented in the Netherlands, other age groups are far more visible.

here in America we need our 200hp cars so we can shop a four or five malls in a town thirty miles away and use our coupons to save 15 cents on all the ice cream and Twinkies we buy so we can save more money for our next coronary while loading our fat butts into our over priced car for the trip home
ASI DEBE DE SER EN TODO EL PLANETA TODOS EN BICICLETA , LAS PISTAS DEBEN DE SER PARA LAS BICICLETAS PORQUE NO CONTAMINAN

My Gazelle tour populair is epic for ride,not fast but still handy in everyday life.
Seeing bikes with rod brakes is quite the sight
MEANWHILE IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, CARS ALL OVER BUT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN HOUSE AND GARAGE. WHAT A SHAME.
Cycle and be healthy don't be unhealthy in a car
some of the healthiest elderly people ive seen
No wonder Dutch people are the happiest people on Earth.

God Bless The Bike Riders EVERYWHERE and keep them safe
Of course they are not wearing helmets. They have separated and/or great bike infrastructure. Also, since there are so many people riding a bike around, average speed is Very slow in most streets and lanes. Because they are crowded.But in many other countries like mine, riding a bike is dangerous. We mostly don't have lanes and have to use car roads. And drivers are very aggressive and they don't care about us. Roads are in bad shape with a lot of cracks and potholes so wearing a helmet (especially for road bikes where your body position is specific) is not a bad idea.
3.07 I liked the way that mother checked that her child was still on board.
Chris Britain and the world need you in charge.
I think that is why we have such a long live before we die. 🙂🙂
Imagine how much saver the roads would be if half of the people driving a car weren’t unpredictable, frightened, blind and reacting slow?
With all respect…☝️👵
My 76yo dad prefers biking but he drives the car relatively well and is quit predictable I’d say.
Apart from leaving his indicator on until he has to use it again.😅
But my mom who is panicky and not as confident behind the wheel was unpredictable and simply dangerous.
She sold her car after 3 incidents and a whiplash in 1 year, because she has alternatives.
And I’m grateful that she has that FREEDOM!!
I hope my country be like that .
peace to you
I’m from Arab country
