    @larrote6467 4 роки тому +858

    Something I never see mentioned anywhere is the fact that the reason why the Netherlands and other countries started incentivizing the use of the bicycle was because of the Petrol crisis, those countries and families went bankrupt, and so the bicycle was what was left. It wasn't until much later, that they realized all of the benefits that they started talking about it as something to be proud of. That (the economic crisis of the late 70's early 80's) is a key part in this development, because the dutch were saying and thought the same things that everybody says and thinks about the automobile and bike back then, it's just that they had no choice.
    PS: some people apparently think that saying "nobody mentions this" is the same as saying "this is the only thing that mattered", I welcome all comments about other contributing factors, just don't assume I don't think they are important.

      In the 1960s, Amsterdam hired an American city planner to redo the entire city centre.
      Bulldoze all those monumental merchants' houses, fill in those canals and put some serious 6-lane highway right in the centre.

      Next step, get rid of the cycleways and turn them into footpaths - let's get walking!

      Indeed.
      This video definitely takes on renewed meaning and significance, in the wake of climate activism in particular, encouraging people to use other transport, now more people are cycling.
      I think there should be a bigger incentive to cycling, not just in London but the rest of the country too.
      Good cycling infrastructure outside London is patchy outside of cities, most of it’s overgrown or muddy canal towpaths, and the purpose built cycle paths are maybe a mile or two long that stop immediately.
      I reckon there’s a big opportunity to be had to create a national cycling infrastructure. For instance using up former railway lines axed by Beeching in the 60s, you don’t even have to tear up the tracks, just bury them under a good path and you’re golden.

      There is a major imbalance because an irresponsible driver puts a cyclists life at risk but the worst a cyclist can do to a driver is to slightly inconvenience their journey. Add in the mentality of some drivers that they have the right to kill anyone who slightly inconveniences them and you have a lethal mix. Dutch roads avoid these conflicts by road design that separates the traffic from the cyclists.

      When I lived in London I tried commuting from Erith to central London (around 16 miles on a 10-speed racer) but had to give up after 7 months. My weight had dropped alarmingly and I was feeling knackered every day.

    These videos are so random and yet informative. This video format should be the new standard in UA-cam videos. Quirky people, random scenes and no apparent professional editing (although it would take me years to produce a video like this). Love it!
