These videos remind me of Cruising the Cut, a channel about canal boating in the UK. As well as his normal videos he as some that are an hour or so of silent footage of the boat slowly making it's way along a canal with just mostly the sounds of nature.
In just a few years time this route will look very different as there will be far less motored traffic. The Green Corridor project will ultimately provide a largely free 14 km (8,7 mi) cycle track between Oirschot town centre and Eindhoven city centre. I'm looking forward to it!
There already is a basically car free route from Oirschot to eindhoven. You need to fallow the canal to best then go through a small industry area to the other canal and follow the canal thats part of what they call the slow lane to the same road he ended up on. All the canal paths are car free and surrounded by trees and better bike paths. I've biked both routes and my butt definitely didn't like the route he choose.
I was working near there for a month driving to Son everyday, and I can tell driving bikes over there is the Best. -(I'm not sorry)- But for real tho. With those biking roads separated from traffic and pedestrians driving around is simply pleasant. And then you have those biking highways as seen from 28:20 onward perfection. When I was Driving to Eindhoven one day I finally felt that this infrastructure was made for a biker like me, and not for cars wit a side of bike.
I am not 100% sure about this but there probably is a bus route. However, prioritzing bicycle infrastructure inspires people to choose this healthier option
@@bieter I know what you mean, I'm just wondering in case someone moves there, if there would be an quicker way to transport most importanly for emergency occasions for exaple
I really enjoyed this and other ride videos that you've made. It's gotten me thinking about getting more into cycling and making some ride videos of my own. May I ask what camera you use for your rides? I'm currently shopping around for one. Thanks for this video and keep up with all the great work. Cheers from Canada!
the footage is super smooth, what do you use to record ? i’ve been thinking about documenting how ( terrible ) biking is in my city and your videos are consistently great, thanks for riding !
Wish you had taken the more scenic route aka the 'canal'-route to Eindhoven. You take the bicycle path to Best along the Wilhelmina Kanaal, then take a right turn when you come across the Beatrix kanaal. And then continue in a straight line on smooth red asphalt to Eindhoven All dedicated bike lanes, no roads for cars alongside this route. The majority of bikers, both commuters and recreational, prefer this cycle path over the Green Corridor bc no traffic noise and the superior quality of the track surface. The 'Groene Corridor' is in need of upgrading tbh.
The purpose of this video was to show that this road is being changed from a road into a cycling route. The difference between the beginning of the route and the second half (that was already made car free) is stunning. I show nice recreational routes in other videos.
@Johan Wittens thats nice, I guess age and aesthetics had something to do with it, wonder if they also thought of certain pavement solutions to slow down cyclists, I´m sure they have Thanks for your answer
@Johan Wittens Never been to the Netherlands I just watch this type of videos but it feels to me that pedestrians also lost a lot of infrastructure in order to give space to bicycles (and cars of course). Several videos show pedestrian trying to avoid bicycles from hitting them while crossing a bicycle lane or sidewalks that only allow one person at a time walking on it in a residential area. Netherlands infrastructure is extraordinary but aren´t pedestrians losing space to cars and bicycles?
@Johan Wittens I´m all up for taking even more space from cars and giving it to pedestrians. I love good quality bike infrastructure like in the Netherlands, my only point was that in some places the space for pedestrians coming out of their houses seems rather small... And as a future tourist I will most likely get very anxious at looking at everyone riding their bikes so close to each other. I would not be able to do that comfortably hahaha.
Very much enjoyed this ride today - thank you as always.
I'm a car guy, I personally hate riding a bike, but man am I loving this video and this infrastructure
Much better viewing by bike!
Pedal car?
@@TimpBizkit No, vroom vroom car
@@NZVideoMaker How do you mean ?
@@luckyluke5638 you can see around better while riding compared to driving
I like sound of your bike on a go! Love bicycling in the Netherlands, big part of my life. Thanks for stunning videos! 👍👍👍

Super and Beautiful city.nice driving.thank you

That's really good news

I feel every bump of those pave stones under my office chair.
Loose a bit of air on the wheels.

Nice! I wonder tho, isn't there a bus line somenone could use to cover the same route?

enjoyable to view need to sort your chain squeaking oil helps 🤣🚲🤙
did Philips move location?
Public Transport rental bike...
Philips was actually founded in Eindhoven, but I’m not sure if they moved.
They moved to Best (at least part of it ended up there).
Zat er een spatbord los. Wel een stevig tempo.
Ja, dat was een rammelende OV-Fiets. Ik ging gemiddeld 19.8km/h. Inclusief de stops dus zo'n 20km/h als ik reed. Voelde niet als echt snel.

maybe you could do that video on your bike? 🚲🤙🤣
Are there any specific reasons as to why some parts of the bicycle path are made with asphalt and others with pavers?

I'd love to pedal through there...
Yay! A bus to Best Station :)
When was this video taken?
Mantab bro👍
Very old bicycle?
Rammelbakkie
Ja deze OV-Fiets bleek een los spatbord te hebben. Dat hoor je wel!
