Historical Perspective on Dutch Cycling
This is part of a larger report called "The Dutch Approach to Bicycle Mobility: Retrofitting Street Design for Cycling"
TLDR: Cycling wasn't always big there, it's taken decades to wean the Dutch off making the automobile the default vehicle for trips. Plus, reduced costs, and increased safety.#dutch #dutchcycling #dutchcyclinglifestyle #dutchcyclinginfrastructure #cycling

Photos from today's second parcel run, featuring typical everyday Dutch cycling infrastructure.
The first photo shows a bus-stop bypass, but the cycle-path is straight and reasonably wide (about 2.5 metres wide for single direction use) so this doesn't inconvenience cyclists.
The second photo shows a junction with a side road. We have priority and drivers have a place to stop at 90 degrees to the cyclepath and look both ways before they cross.
The second isn't perfect. Sight lines to the right are less than ideal, and drivers sadly cannot be relied upon to drive safely. But generally this infrastructure works well.
There's more about Dutch cycle-paths here, including lots of photos:

Certainly a sad thing to happen, reading about the collapse of what sounds like a brilliant cycle scheme.
We have the beginning of a cycle hire scheme, but only in the centre of town, and only seasonally! We also have a cycle delivery service, for local independent business in a 3 mile radius.
We also have the same social media responses on 'green travel' cycling, and the council (Labour) #bikeisbest @modacitylife #dutchcycling -
It's time for another Fiets Podcast! This time, experiencing the good and bad of cycling in Rotterdam, mechanical woes for my bike, and a rant about glacial local progress on planned cycling schemes!
Get it here, and in all the usual podcast places!

Tunnels are fun, and Rotterdam has a great one for cycling, the Maastunnel - a recently renovated connection between the banks of the Nieuwe Maas. Another video from my cycle rides around the city last month:

Continuing my series of clips from my rides around Rotterdam last month, here are two more bridges - Koninginnebrug and Willemsbrug - both with fully separated cycle infrastructure.

Having spent nearly a week over in Rotterdam, I’m releasing clips from my rides that show some of my favourite parts and various bits of infrastructure - good and bad. The first two videos are out now - Coolsingel and Erasmusbrug - presented in real-time without comment so you can take a virtual ride!
