The Dutch Way

Two brothers, ages 10 and 6, bike home independently at the end of their school day on this 50-year-old separated cycling infrastructure in a Rotterdam 🇳🇱 suburb, just like many generations before them. 🧵1/3

After some time, here is my latest YouTube video on the principles of the Safe System Approach so we can spread awareness of the considerations and foundation to better ensure the safety of everyone: youtu.be/TTL8sPsLAbM

40lb bag of dog food, a prescription, and a few groceries, no problem! Bikes can be more useful than some may think and I’m glad I don’t have to use my car for every trip.

There is nothing better than riding with the family on the way to get some dinner 😃

"the bike lane made me do it"

Wheelchair 👩‍🦽 users can have a taxi ride with the VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike at the Netherlands' biggest music festival, Zwarte Cross 🎸☀️🎡🍻 From morning till night, the crew is ready to cycle 🚲 people across the 160-hectare (400-acres) festival grounds.

It’s always a great day for a bike ride, one of my son’s favorite activities, and a great way to get to the store and back for a few things 😃

Summer Camp 54th Tour de Schalkwijk 🇳🇱 is an annual cycling event. Hundred riders 🚵‍♀️ aged 9-12, split into 10 teams, compete in time trials (Sundays), a points race (Wednesday), and morning stages. Afternoons and evenings include games, swimming, a fox hunt, and a farm sleepover.

How I would have loved to ride these juvenile sulky tricycles while being serenaded by a brass ensemble in Scheveningen. It's the ultimate Dutch 1963 beach resort experience! 🎵🚴‍♂️🌊 (Photo: Stokvis). Dive deeper into this nostalgic ride: onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1950s-juvenile…

@tandemkate @WalkRideBath @BATHNESHighways In the Netherlands, if you collide with a bollard on a bike path, you can claim injury damages from the municipality if the bollard lacks proper safety measures. Ideally, this bollard in Bath should have ribbed markings on the pavement to warn cyclists of the impending hazard:

One for the #bollard lovers Credit to @BATHNESHighways for a complete rethink of the risk assessment for this location #visionzero

THIS IS NOT A BIKE. IT IS A TABLE & CHAIR! In 🇧🇷, bikes are expensive due to 70% tax. The Outlaw Bike disguises itself as furniture (12% tax!) and is much cheaper. Now everybody can build their own affordable bike at home! (by @BicyclingMag: youtube.com/watch?v=Q1KEda…)

@AmericanFietser This photo from another angle shows a revolution has taken place. In 1965, 2 km of shopping street in The Hague's historic center was redesigned and turned into a pedestrian zone: asphalt out, decorative paving in. A small round parking lot with meters was created at Plaats.

A woman drove a Tesla on the bike path against traffic in Amsterdam and parked on the sidewalk to unload linens. The police summoned enforcement to tow the car. The €460 fine seemed too low, with the officer estimating Airbnb nights at €1000 each. twitter.com/rrustema020/st…

@PLatchman Building with nature demands a long-term commitment spanning decades, often clashing with short-term political agendas. In the Netherlands, this commitment is upheld by the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management, environmental organizations, and universities.

@The_DutchWay I'm afraid it's only about filling pockets in Trinidad and Tobago!💸💸💰💰 Would love some Dutch interventions, but...... Started something with the previous ambassador, but nothing to date!

This used to be mangrove/sea! We can't understand why flooding's so bad!

@PLatchman The Dutch Way: Building with nature is a concept where nature is used to cope with climate change risks, such as floods, waves and sea level rise. wur.nl/en/research-re…

@The_DutchWay Because we keep destroying them for "development!"

Thanks to the compactness of European towns, a cozy evening out on a beautiful summer night is just a short walk or bike ride away from home. Like lots of people in Maassluis 🇳🇱 experience.

Why is there a "little USA" in Germany?
