Amazing. GM & DaimlerChrysler would never allow this to happen in the US
but Portland, Oregon is close as it gets I think.
World’s Cycling City.
Amazing. New York needs this!
And all without helmets :/
What an amazing place. I would definitely love to see some more of this
thinking over here.
@skyhobo of course cycling isn’t for every climate and every place on
earth. There are other solutions to get rid of cars like public transport.

Groningen! Fortress of the North!
Winter is coming…
What a beautiful city and “a mode of transport that keeps you alive”!
Haaai Orlando ;)))
“You’re never more than 100 meters from a cycle path” #cycling
Just a load of crapppp
And all without helmets :/
Before making this footage we went to the Metamorphose coffeeshop
miss my Gro a lot :((
Yeah, everyone in the video looks so angry, yelling at each other, ringing
their bells loudly, wishing they couldn’t see each other so well…OK
sarcasm off…What agenda are you trying to promote by ignoring the reality
you(supposedly) watched in this illuminating little film? I should learn
from the filmakers reply prior to mine and not even respond, but come on…
Wow, that is so awesome! Thanks for posting this
There is also less background noise in the city due to less car traffic and
less polution! Best city planning ever.
As an avid cyclist, living in an extreme climate, where heavy snow and cold
dominate for half the year, it would simply not be practical to have such a
bicycling culture. Although I do cycle year-round, it requires a special
winter bike equipped with spiked tires. When the temperature dips below -20
Celsius, which is very common in the winter, special clothing is also
necessary. As much as I would love a cycling utopia, I know that 95% of the
population couldn’t physically manage it here 🙁
You really are joking aren’t you? The cost of road repairs and
infrastructure is a fraction of what it would be for cars. Everything about
the city is cheaper because they don’t need to support such a giant cost in
roads and planning for cars. I mean I know you have to be joking, that is
why I am resisting writing paragraphs debunking this comment.
Wonderful
Ultimate in bad city planning. Bicycle through the city center, 12 minutes.
Car around the city, 30 minutes. if they had just allow cars through the
city center, 3 min drive. And I have not even got to the cost of build the
infrastructure required to sustain such a bicycle community.
amazing, the way of the future,
Who needs Helmets, were you can bike safely anywhere in this city..
I’d like to give a special kind of facepalm to Joel Tay for his idiotic
comment but at the same time I didn’t want to reply directly to him cause
that’d only feed the troll/idiot… So I thought this was the best way to
do so 😛 Just wanted to tell you guys from StreetFilms that I like your
vids and subbed. It’s always good to see people from foreign countries
giving you an insight on what they think of your country 🙂
