Utrech Commuting Video



here is a link to the video.

This video shows a transit dance, involving mostly bikes, that is conducted without cyclists bumping into each other or the vehicles. Here we’d insist on much more room, “forgiving” bikeways, much the way we’ve built forgiving highways. Notice both bus, rail and delivery vehicles on the crossroad.

And you don't see much in the way of helmets, racing bikes, or spandex. Why do the Dutch have the happiest children, healthier longer lives, and have more sex? Is it all because of the bike culture?
