The Netherlands is on a whole other level, once you visit, you're never able to unsee just how harmonious Dutch infrastructure is. I wish town planners in my hometown of Dubai would learn more from Dutch cities.
Hi 5 buddy, relatable. As a fellow Dubayyan (lol) it's a bummer that despite the cool buildings and development here, it's not a pedestrian friendly city, in fact it's an extremely extremely "car is king" city. Also, you might like watching Not Just Bikes if you haven't already watched him.
Also because we do not want our country to be flooded, we choose for area planning. We make room for the water so that it can go to the sea and we can still live next to it

One thing you missed, and which is so important for the future of mobility: integrating cycling with public transport. Most of these are under train stations, after all.
@@GrenadeApple3 The Netherlands actually has automated bike rentals at almost all stations, allowing you to rent a bike for up to 24 hours for only €3.85. Quite a few people use this option for their last-mile travel. You can also take foldable bikes on the train free of charge.
@@GrenadeApple3 you can but it is cheaper to use your other 0.3 bike to park at your destination station and take that one for the last mile transport, that is what most people who have substantial last miles do
It sounds very expensive, but building a single car parking spot is far more expensive. The new car parking garage next to Utrecht bike parking costed 100M€ for 1200 places, which is 83,000€ per spot! Cyclist are much cheaper visitors of your city centre: less than 3% of the parking cost (in our dense city centres)
Do you mean the Utrecht railway station bicycle parking? It costed about €30 million for 12,500 parking spaces. See: www.duic.nl/algemeen/grootste-fietsenstalling-ter-wereld-opent-maandag-in-utrechtt/#:~:text=De%20gemeente%20Utrecht%2C%20ProRail%2C%20NS,ruim%2030%20miljoen%20euro%20gekost. Average costs per bicycle parking space: 30.000.000 / 12,500 = € 2400 To compare, the average costs for an underground parking place for cars in the USA is about $34,000 (about €28,700). Above ground parking garages about $24,000 (about € 20,250) on average. See: shoup.bol.ucla.edu/HighCost.pdf The minimum costs for a dedicated car parking space in the USA I could find is: $10,000 (about € 8,400). See: www.homeadvisor.com/cost/outdoor-living/pave-a-parking-lot/ Keep in mind that it often is €0 for parking bicycles in the city when parked against a tree, on a sidewalk or similar spots. Not completely €0 because there are some few dedicated parking places for bicycles just on the surface. And if there are any, it usually is just some painted line on some part of an existing sidewalk or some part of an existing road. See, among others: fietsberaad.be/wp-content/uploads/Hasselt_fietsenstalling.jpg Notice that you can divide the costs per parking space by ten (given the above example). To illustrate, it means (hypothetically) that in a street of 50 houses with a car parking place each, you can park 500 bicycles instead. And then there is, of course, the yearly maintenance costs of parking garages (lights, cleaning, guarding, repairing, etc.). I don't have any figures for that. But I think it is not unreasonable to assume that, on average, a car park is more expensive to maintain. Also keep in mind that just building a separate above ground bicycle parking garage from the ground up would have been cheaper. Railroad bicycle parking garages are more expensive because they are underground and integrated with the railway station itself. I am not sure but I suspect that the building and maintenance costs for the following bicycle parking "garage" are much cheaper per bicycle parking space. See: thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/het-parkeren-amsterdam-van-de-fiets-28038873.jpg
@@wimahlers Note that building under ground in the Netherlands, especialy the western, more populated part, is very difficult due to the ground being very soft and mushy with very high water levels in many places. That drives up the construction costs of many buildings and infrastructure projects in these parts, so I am not sure a comparison to construction costs in the US makes much sense.
@@AndreSomers Building underground parking garages below sea level in a swamp (much of The Netherlands) is indeed more costly to build.

That is, you can create, for instance, an ecological facility (fish, mushrooms, etc.), a local logistical storage facility, an energy (battery) storage facility, a water storage facility, and probably many more alternative applications for a vacated underground parking garage. The latter architect just lacks a creative imagination. He thinks binary. Namely cars or nothing. And nothing inbetween.
Does this include the third recently opened parking garage? And of course Delft is the loser, infrastructure is bad here, that station is still not fully done...
Correction: Delft has over 10 000 parking spots as of this month, the 32mln you're mentioning was for 7.5k something spots. The average price per spot is now around the average as the most recent 2.4k spots were about 14mln.

Which city do you mean, because right now Bremen is (according to the ADFC) the most bike-friendly metropolis and there is no (underground) bike garage.
I wish we had this sort of thing in America. It's so boring and dull seeing all the automobiles driving everywhere and I think if we had this bicycle system (even though it's quite expensive) , a lot of people would be outside more and getting exercise I myself have indulged in this "bicycle religion" in the Netherlands and ride my bike almost everywhere. Great video! Edit: I’m certainly not saying that living in Europe and America don’t have their pros and cons. I was just reveling over the cool bicycle system Europe has, sorry if I came off the wrong way to anyone.
If you like living in tiny European houses, paying high rent, having less space, go for it really. No one's stopping you. I'm not shitting on Europe, I live in Prague, it's absolutely beautiful. I can go to work by bike, tram or bus. Public transport is excellent. But rents are high, space is low, and it's quite crowded and that's a problem if you're introverted. Living anywhere has its pros and cons. Same with America. America is car centric, but it's more spaced out, bigger, rent is way lower in most American cities, and you have the convenience that comes with cars. People living there love that, so let them keep it right? Why change an entire society to get only a part of what you want? come live in Europe with us, and get something that you want that's already there.
@@mixrable1212 Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. I meant no disrespect when writing this comment, I was just reveling over Europe’s bicycle system and how cool it would be to see more bicycles around. As you know, in America, people who can’t afford a car usually take a bike to commute as an alternate means if transportation (possibly a scooter or something else). But bicycle lanes aren’t respected by a lot drivers on the road and accidents quite frequently occur. So I thought it would be interesting to see more tolerance for bicycles in the states. But I definitely agree with you that there are pros and cons to living anywhere and that we shouldn’t shove the cons aside and only address at the pros.
@@thebagelboyjr9351 I'd say that powered bicycles should be treated like bikes. That way you can get one and just zip to work the way you want it. Making bicycle lanes costs hundreds of millions. And in a low demand country like America, it wouldn't fly with the taxpayers. That being said, it's cool that you have a hobby for something healthy. Good for you man
British here, wish we had this as it looks far more secure as well as keeping a city centre looking tidy. We have to park on the street and if you own something remotely nice theft is a massive problem as the police barely consider it a crime. My mountain bike is worth as much as my motorcycle yet the police dont treat them like the same class of crime. Very irritating.
Its always about amsterdam... Tourist think its another country or something like that. We are bigger than one place. Breda has 3 underground ones and Enschede has one with 3 flours 🤷🏻♀️

Je bent de ondergrondse fietsenstalling bij hoofdstation Groningen vergeten, een OG fietsenstalling uit 2007 met 5500 plekken (kostte 15 miljoen euro). Zou net achter Utrecht komen qua kosten per plek.

We defeated the Spaniards on ice skates during the 80 year war, because they didn't knew how ice works. So maybe bicycles can have an advantage in some environments?
i own 3 bikes and will buy another one for 10$ from a friend who is moving soon. so ill have 2 in working condition. the others are for parts :) It takes some room in the shed, tho it has only cost me ~100$ in the past 8 years including repairs, since i can do that myself. (thanks dad) ive already had 2 bikes stolen, so thats why i buy cheap ones from friends or family.
In Belgium are underground garages for bicycle like in Ostend and much others... If you can understand Dutch this is for the UA-cam In België zijn er ook heel veel van die soort kluisjes en dus we komen er (dichtbij) Trouwens goede video.
Another great thing about these kinds of bike parking is just how incredibly space efficient they can be. Just a rough estimate, but in the space of 2 car parking places, I estimate you could fit about 50 bikes if you have one of those bike racks where you have two levels. Now imagine a parking garage with 12.500 cars in it next to Utrecht Centraal. Seattle SEA-TAC airport has a parking garage of about 13000 places, just go and look that monstrosity up. It's 300 by 400 meters on the longest sides and has 8 floors (so say it's 32 meters high), making it easily much larger than Utrecht Centraal (the actual station) which is only 250 meters wide and 90 meters along the tracks, and 18 meters high at its highest. It's absolutely insane how much space car parking can take up.
@@johnnyvvlog It's always better to copy a good example than to do nothing... Thanks for the waffles and frietjes! Our copy isn't as good but we are improving!
Ps after you made the formula B2/C2 you can drag in the button right corner of the cell and down to automatically generate alle the other cells. (I.e. b3/c3)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'baggeren' is more than just bicycles. It's basically any job where a body of water/waterway is made deeper by removing material from the bottom. Usually this material is sand or silt, but in this case it's bicycles. The literal translation is dredging. I suspect you know this but I just wanted to clear things up for those who aren't familiar with the language.
Although you say the parking is expensive, it must be way cheaper than car parking. Many cities require all new buildings to include several floors of car parking as a condition of construction.

@@wimahlers Excellent summary, and yes, the correct comparison would be a parking lot for a railway station or airport. The reality is most railway stations do not have sufficient parking as it is not really feasible, and airport parking tends to be more expensive to park in than the average parking lot. Here in South Africa the main reason why bicycles are not used more, is a lack of secure parking. I walk or even drive rather than cycle to the shops for example merely because I cannot park my bike safely at the shopping centre. This makes a bicycle purely a recreational tool here.

they recently finished a new wing of the garage, so I'm hoping the parking spots will be less scarce in the future.
This is a truly interesting, entertaining and informative video. Thanks also for showing me what your amazing country is like and sharing your culture with us. Thanks Bruno for your time and efforts in making this video. Cheers from Australia.
*I love how only Dutch people watch this*
Yes i am Dutch too
Wrm zeg je t dan in het Engels als volgens jou iedereen hier nederlands is

Im not lmao, just fascinated/obsessed with the Netherlands
Hi, from Tokyo, Japan, I felt familiar with the bicycle life too.
I also park my bicycle at the undergroud of the station.
@@sydneyatkins6249 and @Tall Spoon wow nice! I didn’t expect that people who are not Dutch would watch this, mostly because all the comments are Dutch
i dont know how I stumbled on this video...but for some reason i did not skip it! Your voice, the way you informed us about the facts, the lil b-roll shots made the whole thing really amazing! I like!

I just discovered this video and was looking for more content on your channel but realized you had not posted anything in years (!!!). Time to ace up your game, this is great stuff!
This was a great video! Enjoyed every minute 😄
Awesome! Thank you!
That was a GREAT video! I had no idea. VERY educational! Thanks for uploading!!!
The city I work in has one of these, too. They where also considered the most bisycle-friendly city in germany for a long long time
Which city do you mean, because right now Bremen is (according to the ADFC) the most bike-friendly metropolis and there is no (underground) bike garage.

I wish we had this sort of thing in America. It's so boring and dull seeing all the automobiles driving everywhere and I think if we had this bicycle system (even though it's quite expensive) , a lot of people would be outside more and getting exercise
I myself have indulged in this "bicycle religion" in the Netherlands and ride my bike almost everywhere.
Great video!
Edit: I’m certainly not saying that living in Europe and America don’t have their pros and cons. I was just reveling over the cool bicycle system Europe has, sorry if I came off the wrong way to anyone.
If you like living in tiny European houses, paying high rent, having less space, go for it really. No one's stopping you.
I'm not shitting on Europe, I live in Prague, it's absolutely beautiful. I can go to work by bike, tram or bus. Public transport is excellent. But rents are high, space is low, and it's quite crowded and that's a problem if you're introverted. Living anywhere has its pros and cons. Same with America. America is car centric, but it's more spaced out, bigger, rent is way lower in most American cities, and you have the convenience that comes with cars. People living there love that, so let them keep it right?
Why change an entire society to get only a part of what you want? come live in Europe with us, and get something that you want that's already there.
@@mixrable1212 Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. I meant no disrespect when writing this comment, I was just reveling over Europe’s bicycle system and how cool it would be to see more bicycles around. As you know, in America, people who can’t afford a car usually take a bike to commute as an alternate means if transportation (possibly a scooter or something else). But bicycle lanes aren’t respected by a lot drivers on the road and accidents quite frequently occur. So I thought it would be interesting to see more tolerance for bicycles in the states. But I definitely agree with you that there are pros and cons to living anywhere and that we shouldn’t shove the cons aside and only address at the pros.
@@thebagelboyjr9351 I'd say that powered bicycles should be treated like bikes. That way you can get one and just zip to work the way you want it. Making bicycle lanes costs hundreds of millions. And in a low demand country like America, it wouldn't fly with the taxpayers.
That being said, it's cool that you have a hobby for something healthy. Good for you man
Excellent production, flow, music, narration.... can't wait for more!
Funfact this mostly counts for the holland region here in overijsel i ownly know one place with one of those underground bike garage

Yeet i’m dutch and i’ve never parked in an underground parking garage
I just set it at the front of my house 🏠
You've never gone drinking in the city have you
have you ever gone out?
I have been so many times to the Netherlands, live them, love the bikes and love Amsterdam!
Tbf, the cost for an underground parking space for a car is about 30-40k, so 10x the cost.

We didn’t buy those bike. We have them G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Groningen stadsbalkon fietsgarage... mist echt in het rijtje!
En de garage onder het Forum!
Binnen een aantal jaren heeft groningen qua capaciteit wel een inhaalslag op de andere steden. Onder het forum, bij station, onder de oude V&D. 💪👌
Is niet echt ondergronds, maar anders: Groningen Europapark fietsgarage
Met 6800 ongeveer wel ja
Groningen is geen randstad, therefore it is IrReLeVanT
British here, wish we had this as it looks far more secure as well as keeping a city centre looking tidy.
We have to park on the street and if you own something remotely nice theft is a massive problem as the police barely consider it a crime. My mountain bike is worth as much as my motorcycle yet the police dont treat them like the same class of crime. Very irritating.
The average cost of parking space is actually 4.135 (or 25.800.000 / 6.240).
Goeie video man haha, ging stuk om die vergelijking met amerika hahaha
I know you're from Amsterdam but you still forgot Rotterdam and its underground parking garage.
Breda den bosch stilburg
People from 020 tend to think 010 does not exist. It's fine like that, please let them think they are the center of the universe.
Its always about amsterdam... Tourist think its another country or something like that. We are bigger than one place. Breda has 3 underground ones and Enschede has one with 3 flours 🤷🏻♀️
Actually, last week when I was away from Amsterdam, I heard that you Rotterdammers also have your own cute little airport, and apparently you even a little soccer club. So cute!

very cool and interesting cuz im planning to go to the NL for univ so yeah
dat grapje met die fietsparkeerboot is echt fantastisch (vooral de gedachte dat de rest het niet begrijpt)
Some places have small ones too. There have been for at least 20 years. They only became more popular.
MissMoontree Eindhoven has one for about a thousand bikes which has been there for at least 20 years.

FYI at 6:32 you can copy and paste a formula in a Google Sheets cell and it will update the cell references to be relative to the cell you copy to. So you don't have to re-type the same formula over and over. Just copy one cell and paste in the rest of the cells.
Thank you youtube recommendation system for bringing me here
Thanks for coming
Thanks Bas Rutten. Very cool!
Ehh Bruno are you Dutch, because your Dutch accent was perfect
Je bent de ondergrondse fietsenstalling bij hoofdstation Groningen vergeten, een OG fietsenstalling uit 2007 met 5500 plekken (kostte 15 miljoen euro). Zou net achter Utrecht komen qua kosten per plek.
You don't use excel very often, do you ?
I mean, he got there, the sheet was correct. That's more than can be said of so... many... other sheets.
What was wrong with it? Genuinely curious
@@jilleswassink7762 Nothing was wrong with it in particular, but the usage of Excel shown in the video shows of an inexperienced user. Summation, making averages, etc, all this stuff has builtin shortcuts not taken by Bruno. And I'm not trying to rip on the guy for sure, but there's easier ways to do what was shown.
At 6:33 where you use a cell formula for the average cost, you can simply drag the blue block of D2 over the rest of the averages to be calculated and excel will impose the rest of the formulas just like you did. (:

The netherlands in a war:
Bicycle > guns
In hearts of iron 4 you can take over the world with only bicycle divisions
well in ww2 we did have the bicycle infantry.
We defeated the Spaniards on ice skates during the 80 year war, because they didn't knew how ice works. So maybe bicycles can have an advantage in some environments?

i own 3 bikes and will buy another one for 10$ from a friend who is moving soon. so ill have 2 in working condition. the others are for parts :)
It takes some room in the shed, tho it has only cost me ~100$ in the past 8 years including repairs, since i can do that myself. (thanks dad)
ive already had 2 bikes stolen, so thats why i buy cheap ones from friends or family.
0:39 an absurd ID.= ideAAAAAAAAA* ;)
In Belgium are underground garages for bicycle like in Ostend and much others...
If you can understand Dutch this is for the UA-cam
In België zijn er ook heel veel van die soort kluisjes en dus we komen er (dichtbij)
Trouwens goede video.
0:24 as an American this pleases me
Another great thing about these kinds of bike parking is just how incredibly space efficient they can be. Just a rough estimate, but in the space of 2 car parking places, I estimate you could fit about 50 bikes if you have one of those bike racks where you have two levels. Now imagine a parking garage with 12.500 cars in it next to Utrecht Centraal.
Seattle SEA-TAC airport has a parking garage of about 13000 places, just go and look that monstrosity up. It's 300 by 400 meters on the longest sides and has 8 floors (so say it's 32 meters high), making it easily much larger than Utrecht Centraal (the actual station) which is only 250 meters wide and 90 meters along the tracks, and 18 meters high at its highest. It's absolutely insane how much space car parking can take up.
I live in belgium and we have underground bicycle garages here.
Yes we do and just like with bicycle lanes we really just tried to copy the Dutch.
@@johnnyvvlog It's always better to copy a good example than to do nothing...
Thanks for the waffles and frietjes! Our copy isn't as good but we are improving!
In Alkmaar we have a underground bicycle garage for over a decade. So we are the bicycle underground parking pioneer I think.
Man the Dutchs are different ! I mean, imagine a parking with a capacity of 12500 cars
The average cost per car in an underground car park in the US is 35000$. so a car park like that would cost 437.5 Mil $.
Actually, I never liked those years living in Utrecht and Amsterdam that much, but the bicycle infrastructure is remarkable.
Compared to the cost of an underground car parking spot it is actually dirt cheap.
We have them in the uk
huhh? where?

@@SkaterDude-fs4rm Only two in such a large country?
This is so relateable. I live in the netherlands too. Everywhere you see a bike
Do people in Netherlands mountain bike at all
Yes people do but 50% of the Netherlands is below sea level so everthing is very flat.
Boris.deRuyter oh I see thanks
The North is hilly.
@@C0deH0wler No the south is hilly.
Some years ago the world championships bicycle cross were held in the Netherlands, I think. I don't know if that is the same as mountain biking.
Ps after you made the formula B2/C2 you can drag in the button right corner of the cell and down to automatically generate alle the other cells. (I.e. b3/c3)
This! Came here to find this. You can write the formula in one box, and drag the small cube in the bottom corner of the cell
It's useful
This sound like a school project from a student that got a 10+
Ik had ni verwacht dat een zo’n ondergrondse fiets garage zo duur zou zijn
Je vergeet er nog wel een hoop.
Leuk filmpje dat wel
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'baggeren' is more than just bicycles. It's basically any job where a body of water/waterway is made deeper by removing material from the bottom. Usually this material is sand or silt, but in this case it's bicycles. The literal translation is dredging.
I suspect you know this but I just wanted to clear things up for those who aren't familiar with the language.
For bicycles it's called "fietsvissen" ( bicycle fishing)
Verleden tijd van cost is cost, costed bestaat helaas niet. Leuke video!
Wish we had that type of biking culture in England, and I would certainly love to see those types of bike garage's in London. We can dream, I guess.
You forto Eindhoven & Tilburg! They have underground bicycle garages too!
Beste filmpje in tijden 😂. Je staat er hier niet zo bij stil maar als je het zo vertelt klinkt het allemaal best apart hier in Nederland

And you got "a rekkie" i cantttt🤣🤣🤣🤣

Het enigste waar Nederland nog in kan veranderen is het openbaar vervoer. Dit zouden ze gratis moeten maken voor iedereen in Nederland
Do you have to get a ticket to use them or something? Like is there a way to monitor if people ever come back for their bikes?

3:01 those fietskluisjes used to be next to my school. Havent seen that place for a good year.
Can relate
im glad you back :)
Love the Dutch. I'm English, live in Germany, and when I speak German, most think I'm Dutch 🤪 I'll take that 🤘
Although you say the parking is expensive, it must be way cheaper than car parking. Many cities require all new buildings to include several floors of car parking as a condition of construction.
To illustrate here is just a copy of my reply from a different thread...
Do you mean the Utrecht railway station bicycle parking?
It costed about €30 million for 12,500 parking spaces.
See:
www.duic.nl/algemeen/grootste-fietsenstalling-ter-wereld-opent-maandag-in-utrechtt/#:~:text=De%20gemeente%20Utrecht%2C%20ProRail%2C%20NS,ruim%2030%20miljoen%20euro%20gekost.
Average costs per bicycle parking space:
30.000.000 / 12,500 = € 2400
To compare, the average costs for an underground parking place for cars in the USA is about $34,000 (about €28,700).
Above ground parking garages about $24,000 (about € 20,250) on average.
See:
shoup.bol.ucla.edu/HighCost.pdf
The minimum costs for a dedicated car parking space in the USA I could find is: $10,000 (about € 8,400).
See:
www.homeadvisor.com/cost/outdoor-living/pave-a-parking-lot/
Keep in mind that it often is €0 for parking bicycles in the city when parked against a tree, on a sidewalk or similar spots.
Not completely €0 because there are some few dedicated parking places for bicycles just on the surface.
And if there are any, it usually is just some painted line on some part of an existing sidewalk or some part of an existing road.
See, among others:
fietsberaad.be/wp-content/uploads/Hasselt_fietsenstalling.jpg
Notice that you can divide the costs per parking space by ten (given the above example).
To illustrate, it means (hypothetically) that in a street of 50 houses with a car parking place each, you can park 500 bicycles instead.
And then there is, of course, the yearly maintenance costs of parking garages (lights, cleaning, guarding, repairing, etc.).
I don't have any figures for that. But I think it is not unreasonable to assume that, on average, a car park is more expensive to maintain.
Also keep in mind that just building a separate above ground bicycle parking garage from the ground up would have been cheaper.
Railroad bicycle parking garages are more expensive because they are underground and integrated with the railway station itself.
I am not sure but I suspect that the building and maintenance costs for the following bicycle parking "garage" are much cheaper per bicycle parking space. See:
thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/het-parkeren-amsterdam-van-de-fiets-28038873.jpg
@@wimahlers Excellent summary, and yes, the correct comparison would be a parking lot for a railway station or airport. The reality is most railway stations do not have sufficient parking as it is not really feasible, and airport parking tends to be more expensive to park in than the average parking lot. Here in South Africa the main reason why bicycles are not used more, is a lack of secure parking. I walk or even drive rather than cycle to the shops for example merely because I cannot park my bike safely at the shopping centre. This makes a bicycle purely a recreational tool here.
Nice, ive been to amsterdam and quite notice that, found it pretty cool
His accent is like a weird mix of dutch and southern, amazing.
