Maybe a reason is that the Netherlands is flat and tiny. You can ride almost anywhere from your house.
Me? Cycle in London? No! I'll die.
You've got to be stark raving mad to cycle in London.
I would cycle, but there are too many roads.
I tried cycling once, but there was a bus on the other side of the road. Aargh!
What's wrong with these people? Cycling is good exercise, it's free, it's fun
You can change your route as you please, you can park anywhere, it's usually faster than the bus,
sometimes faster than the Tube, and yet for some reason, cyclists in London are still
a rare and strange breed.
1:43: What the heelllll
Mad props to the woman riding side-saddle on a bike in the Netherlands – and ditto if you can find her in the video!
They have been making cycling safer lately, it's nice to see. More charges for polluting cars too.
Can you show a small Maoist red book on this film,just to even things up!!? Just saying .oh…. Most cyclists are middle class people with big motors .
Noo London is very good for cyclists
1:02 wow this looks superb!
As a Frenchman, no Paris did NOT invent the cycle-for-hire scheme.
How did he travel to London to Amsterdam
Cycling isn’t normal …
That laugh OMG 🥵
The beginning is the most realistic depiction of cycling in London
So annoying that BoJo got the credit for KENbikes
How about the understandable terror of becoming some vehicle's hood ornament!!!
Got an ad for CN Cycle lol😊
4:04 Funky seats!
As a Dutch person: mann they started so well. Separate cycle paths are the best!
I really lik the Holland/Netherlands shout out!
Wooo bikes!!
Adoro quando as legendas estão em português. Faz querer assistir mais vídeos
In the US, bicycles have to ride in the road so its super dangerous and very few people do it. It's a terrible system.
I'm a Canadian staying in London right now (near Russell Square), and it's disappointing to compare this area to places like Amsterdam. All the cycling "infrastructure" I've seen here is basically either paint where you share the same road space as vehicles, or no paint at all. A kid definitely couldn't cycle there safely, at least with access to any real businesses or anything. And that, to me, means the infrastructure just isn't safe enough to bother with. It's definitely nice to see, despite this, there are much higher volumes of people on bicycles compared to my home province, and it's encouraging, but yeah, you gotta be able to put up with a fairly pronounced level of risk (driver inattentiveness, etc).
Are we all just going to gloss over what we had to see at 3:39?
Your alliteration is amazingly awesome! 🥰
that laugh! ahhh!
How? Why do I not see this as a TV series. This man is so witty an entertaining.
Because cyclists in London are twats and I'm not a twat.

There aren't many cities in Europe that are amenable for cycling. Having lived in Shanghai they had cycling routes everywhere, with tons of people driving on these "silent" deadly scooters and bikes, responsible for a lot of accidents. I've heard that cycling is highly popular in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, but other than that…
I think it's much safer in Europe and on a much smaller scale, considering that Shanghai is a relatively new city in terms of it's recent growth and development in the late 1990s and 2000s, with 23 million people and thrice the size of New York, they have the privelege of building huge, extra wide roads, integrated with cycling routes, for motorists and cyclists alike. London amd New York's infrastructure being really old, and most of the streets being rather narrow, it'd be hard to accomodate the former and the latter together, the possibilities being undisputedly meagre.
Boris bikes remind me of the “Obama phone.” The actual program was set up under Bush, but implemented under Obama. Cell phones were cheaper to provision than land lines, so it saved money compared to existing Universal Lifeline (low income phone service) installations. Republicans praised it under Bush, then derided it as opulent spending when Bush’s plan actually started under Obama.

Here's something I don't understand about jay foreman…..why isn't he ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE???? so fucking funny, so interesting, so likeable. He should be on everything.
8:06 I'm laughing for days…
'I would cycle, but there are too many roads' 😐
Bikes have to be separated from cars, but pedestrians also need to be separated from bikes. Cyclists are so dangerous around pedestrians.
