[Ep. 971] People cycle regardless of the weather. On Friday morning 20 January 2023 there was a code orange weather warning for 5cm of snow with the advice to work from home. What we really got was sleet; a wet snow that melted almost instantly which resulted in this video that proves the Dutch are not only fair-weather cyclists.

Loved "The Society Shop" at the end lol. Great video, thanks for sharing!
We're getting a bit of a snow storm here tonight; I can't wait to go cycle somewhere in it tomorrow. It's always so pretty and I love the crunchy sounds of the wheels on the frozen pavement ❤️
Way fewer other-than-omafiets in this weather, but the fresh fish trailer is uncrowded yay!
Sad weather, sad Hieronymus Bosch at the end of the video…
But cyclists are COMING! They don't give up, they are heroes!
A wonderful optimistic video, thank you, Mark!
"The Netherlands have no hills or mountains so it's always comfortable to ride your bike" 🤣🤣🤣
It's more or less the same here in Poland and people cycle 😊
J'aurai trop peur de tomber.
Toll mit dem Fahrrad geht es auch
This is so comfy to watch.
Toch wel gezellig de sneeuw, een klein beetje winter.
There is no wrong weather, only wrong clothes, they say.
YOU CAN'T BIKE IN THE WINTER!
Just wanted to say it once.
Ah, sleet, the most wonderful weather…
Disgusting weather. Give me proper dry snow over this any day
Lovely! Or rather: glovely 😁
Ah, 4:07, the Wilhelminabrug.
Going from the city center to the station, or vice versa.
With its beautifully carved pillars at the Station side of the bridge.
One of the very few places where one still is able to find a Swastika in the wild in a Western country.
1:46 No problem keeping the fresh fish cold this day 🐟🧊😅
I always look forward to your vids, Mark.
Just be carefull out there, you had a fall in the snow before, I seem to remember. Mind you, there was a lot of more snow then.Hope there won't be too much more this year. Stay warm🙂👍.
The Dutch have more grit in their pinky finger than an American has in their entire obese body.
The soundscape is truly impressive, with the city seeming alive with the audible murmur and the crunch of snow beneath feet and bicycle tires. Until 2:38
🥰
thanks enjoyed the ride
Oh wow! Very different from our visit in Nov. I do find it to be pretty once the snow accumulates, plus I don’t particularly like rain just above the freezing mark. hehe 😅
Mark, ik ben niet echt bekend met Den Bosch.(Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe, zoete lieve Gerritje)
Het beeld op de grote markt, het plein waar je de markt filmt, welk figuur is daar uitgebeeld?
Liefs leafs (^.^)
and the most annoying thing during this trip is all that car noise…
Cycle with a cap🧢 and you won't go back. It keeps the snow and rain out of your face.
I was thinking of visiting Utrecht. Maybe I wont
4:05 Jan de Groot 😃 Toch wel meteen even Bossche Bollen wezen halen?
Bad weather and cycling in The Netherlands.
My dad lived North of Amsterdam and worked in Amsterdam, for 38 years. Every morning he took his bicycle and rode to the Wibautstraat in Amsterdam, some 18 km for him. At the end of the afternoon he rode his bicycle back home. One morning in app 1960 there was a lot of snow and my mum felt sorry for him and asked him to take the train to work this time. In the evening, later than normal he came home. He stated, "Never again! I was late for work and now I'm late at home too"… tomorrow I go by bicycle again. It was the only legendary day in all his professional career that he took the train to work, all other days he commuted by bicycle. His employer gave him 2 cents per km and every 4-6 years he bought a new bike of that money. With a dad like that you try the same. I commuted app 30 years to work by bicycle. My dad stopped living because he didn't want to live anymore at the age of 93, after his girlfriend died, but his body still was fit.
Sure – video proof its impossible to cycle in the snow (trigger warning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa_vgi6REkg&list=PLzNM_rzDSme5oBHrWx3UgvC1PACHxI9xT&index=4
