Another video that I like about cycling in Amsterdam. A little Dutch rap to help it along.

This is a fascinating video from the Netherlands about their cycling infrastructure.

The Dutch Have it Right!

Anybody who knows me, knows that I am nuts for bicycles.  And, traveling to the Netherlands a few years ago convinced me of that even more.  Now, my online reading often consists of visiting Dutch and Danish cycling sites including Amsterdamize.com.

The following is an absolutely fabulous video about cycling in the Netherlands and how they have created an education foundation because they are always being asked for information on how other countries can make the same changes the Dutch have.

Watch the short 7 minute video and see what I mean.

Two of my favorite topics. France and cycling. More to the point bike infrastructure and how the French are adding more and more bike lanes to go along with their city wide cycle sharing programs. The bikes, in some cases are allowed to travel two ways on one way streets, and cars are required follow an even lower speed limit.

It's interesting to note that the larger the vehicle the more responsibility that the driver has to take care of smaller vehicles and pedestrians. Seems we have that a bit backward here.

Many of the cities in France, throughout Europe actually are adopting bike share programs. When we were in Rouen, France we were able to see theirs up close and personal.  Really doesn't work to well for me as the bikes, like most, don't adjust well enough to fit my frame.
