This is a new YouTube feature called "YouTube Shorts" (that YouTube are promoting quite heavily).
They are vertical videos designed for mobile that are less than 1 minute long. They show up in various places in the YouTube mobile app, but it usually takes a few days to appear on the "Shorts Shelf".
Unfortunately they're still uploaded as "normal" videos, so you'll also see them on desktop as well. For now, I've turned off subscriber notifications for these videos (that may change), and I've made all of the thumbnails "green" so you can easily ignore them if you don't like vertical videos.
These will come in addition to regular video releases, not in place of them.
I'm using this feature as a way to attract new subscribers and to introduce newbies to short facts that I can talk about in more detail in a future video.
And no, I'm not going to start posting to Instagram or TikTok: I want to focus my time on more content on YouTube rather than less content but on more platforms.
They are safe until the next speeding and reckless motor scooter tries to pass you… never understood how that was even legal. Why build expensive bicycle lanes and then allow motorized vehicles, apart from that they’re excellent.
They made bike lanes where I live few years ago. Just just marked part of the road making the road thiner for cars. It doesn’t solve the fact cyclist still have to be on the same road as drivers. Not many people bike here. Good ole ‘Merica.
As a Dutchie I’m always so confused when I’m abroad. I always wonder where the bike-paths are and where bikers are allowed to go. In the Netherlands it is always clear where the bike paths are and they continue everywhere. When abroad I sometimes see like a bike path that then disappears after a crossing and it’s soo weird to me hahah
I go everywhere by bike its great and beacus i live close to the citie almost everything is quicker to bike to just beacus the cars can't go everywhere and the bikes can its very confenient
Does this mean cyclists not in the US aren’t total rule-breaking, snobby a$$holes? Cuz most of the ones we have here have a blatant disregard for the laws and generally anyones safety except their own. Gets really old…
They were being built in my state in India (few hundred km were built g) but then opposition came in power and break them under the excuse of it causes congestion of road for cars but really it was destroyed because cycle is the symbol of the party which built it and the new party heavily rely on pr 3,00,00,000 rs b by party lotus 19,00,000 rs by cycle party on just social media
(under note my state UP in India and is a production power house but is plagued by corruption, and the worst police resulting in very backward condition, he'ce don't judge any party based on this comment)
I think it is safe to say these big 4m wide bicycle paths are only found in the bigger cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht. In the rest of the Netherlands fietsstroken are more common tho.
i’m in the us and biking always made me nervous cause you either bike in the street and get hit by a car or you bike on the sidewalks and worry about getting in the way of pedestrians. i love how the bike lanes work in the netherlands! so simple and stress free
Yes, we listened. Here is your bike path. 1 lane, wide enough for maybe 3 bikes. It cost 10 million to build and connects one end of the city to the other. It takes you nowhere but the tourist attractions, and the only divider between you and the busiest street in the entire city is this 3 cm tall plastic guardrail which os the exact same colour as the road and becomes impossible to see under any snow. Don't you love how friendly our city is to biking?
Every time I see stuff like this in Europe, it makes me hate living in America even more than I already do lol. I guess it's better to drive in America tho since then the metal surrounding you can help stop stray bullets from all the shootings….
The bike paths in the USA are chock full of runners/walkers with their noise canceling earphones on walking in the middle of the path. The bike lanes in the USA are consistently invaded by cars either suddenly turning or just plain blocking them while parked. It’s so frustrating to be a bike commuter in the land where car is king. 😩
I would love to bring a bike around or even to work but the paranoia of getting it stolen (yes even with a good lock and a secure spot) will always be there for me. No door, no key or any true deterrents.

What about when it snows ? Doesn’t it snow there a lot ?
Basically double(or maybe more) the size of bike lanes where I live lol
Try to implement this in Houston, Manila, Beijing, Moscow and France
Woooa that's amazing. Looks like my dream, the bike lanes here in nyc are 🗑️
Wow that really is a Dutch bycical path, but you can make as many as you want but you’ll never finr the body

Is it weird for children to cycle
Very nice city design. I don't know how Dutch people got so smart at this, but they seem pretty smart about designing their cities.
Yo i live in the Nederland 🇳🇱 😂
Amazing. Here in Germany our bikepaths are literally made out of cobblestone 😭

I'm in the UK, I've visited the Netherlands, this is SO serene and makes sense.
Cool! Yeah! How about pedestrians???

It makes me want to move there 🙂
Best part is that you can blaze a fat L and just ride around…get some nice cheese and bread and chill in the park.
Wow. In this Florida town, if there is a path, the bike paths are barely as wide as my handlebars. I use the sidewalk.

Not true at all. You still have a lot of “fietspaden” that are on the same way cars also ride.
Me, who can't ride a bike because bike paths are nonexistent where i live ; oh, nice!
These kind of videos makes me appreciate Dutch bike lanes more.

Impressive
Is it not safe in other countries?

Meanwhile here in Canada:

Only one rule, DONT WALK ON BIKE PATHS, that’s all.
You got to remmer that the Netherlands is a country MADE for cycling
BTW the bike paths are sometimes the same road as cars but red(sometimes not) painted and also white lines with a intervall
Ur forgetting the best type of fietspad the "bromfietspad" a place where mopeds can show their fossiel fuel superiority

When you recognize the streets from the footage
The bike paths in the USA are chock full of runners/walkers with their noise canceling earphones on walking in the middle of the path. The bike lanes in the USA are consistently invaded by cars either suddenly turning or just plain blocking them while parked. It’s so frustrating to be a bike commuter in the land where car is king. 😩
Can't believe YouTube only just showed this to me
In the US there is a bike lane that goes to the middle of the street. Rarely anyone uses it and it’s pretty dangerous tbh
I would love to bring a bike around or even to work but the paranoia of getting it stolen (yes even with a good lock and a secure spot) will always be there for me. No door, no key or any true deterrents.
why wouldn't children sue them? That is one of the main prospective users for people i'd think if u don't see them as practical
