I want to move to The Netherlands from Sweden, but I haven't chosen which city/town yet. I'm looking for jobs through LinkedIn, and each time a job is in a city I don't know, I come to your channel to see what it looks like from a biker's perspective. It's really helpful, thanks for doing this! Hilversum looks amazing, so green and calming.
I like the drive towards the tiny police station at 0:28. It was designed in 1919 by Willem Marinus Dudok, the famous architect and urban designer of lots of buildings in Hilversum. Its ground plan is beautifully drafted: The little left "shed" hosted a fire brigade hose wagon. In its extension into the building there are a toilet and two police cells. Behind the parabolic door, there's a little hall with bicycle parking spot. The windows mark the waiting room. And the right extension had a "rijwielbrancard", bicycle stretcher, possibly the same model as in this video: ruclips.net/video/jUUx7hm88e0/видео.htmlm55s
Did you came for the Dudok architecture ? Or just as a 'base camp' for trips in the Netherlands ? (I live here, but would never think of using it as a vacation destination!)
As far as I'm aware, that's fairly standard in the Netherlands...and at least five roads in Ipswich town centre (UK) are one-way for cars, but have a contra-flow cycle lane. Mind you, you really have to be aware of pedestrians who step into the road without looking!
It's like that almost everywhere, I can't think of a place where cycling is only one way, even if the motor trafic is one way. This is mostly so because it doesn't necessarily need that much more space
In the city where i live, gent in belgium, 90%-100% of narrow city center streets are one way for cars and 2 way for bikes. It's the standard here, not bold at all. As stated in other comments it is standard in a lot of cities in the Netherlands, and belgium too, and I think it is standard in a lot of european cities... It is surprising to me that this is even interesting to you. This is so normal to us here... :D
Excellent video as usual. It's interesting how you sometimes overtake the same people more than once. For example 1:14 and 2:53. All a part of shooting and editing videos.
Ofcourse not, that would be extremely annoying. This noise has a pretty constant frequency which suggests that something was hitting the spokes of one of the wheels. At 2/3 the noise disappears for a while and then comes back less loud.
It sounds like the chain grinding on the chaincase. At 3:24 the noise disappears because of just rolling out, not pedalling, in order to slow down a bit before turning right.
1:17 to 1:27 is significant. All pedestrians walking on the sidewalk part of the pavement because they account for bicycle traffic without thinking about it, and the woman at 1:24 looking over her shoulder to see if she can safely walk on the bike path to pass the pedestrians coming in the opposite direction. Absolutely seemless

Very clean and well taken care of roads and sidewalks. I'm impressed with that.

if youre still around in the netherlands, id recommend you go here once, at night, and just walk through eiksbosserweg. its near perfect
Hilversum is a very nice place in North Holland. I used once to travel from Lelystad to Hilversum.
Noord Holland
Beautiful City. I wish the country I live in had bicycle lanes.
..Love your videos, this is special

Another great video. a tour on an OV fiets! Nice!
Yeah ! That's my little village ! (90.000 people)
Lovely place
Load of crap.
I work in that ‘village’.
(and was involved in designing a few hundred meters of this route)
Saartje, de lul verstaat gewoon Nederlands.
2 hoofddoekjes in beeld en meteen een grote bek.
'Little village' all big tv-companies are headquartered there!
I spent my vacation last year in Hilversum... it's a lovely place for sure

@@martijnvv8031 echt he. hahaha hilversum is geen moer te doen.
I love how flat it is there, it sure makes riding more of a pleasure. All hills where I live in the U.S
For me the most interesting thing is the street at 3.11. Motor traffic is one way but cycling (and of course walking) are 2 way. That is bold.

This is even standard in germany. Almost all one-way streets here have the Sign "🚲 frei"

Is dit in noord hilversum?
Wonderful, lovely gold DS too. What about that plank parked in the tunnel at the start? Is that enforceable?
No no. They can go outside the tunnel too if they wish.
Are all the public bikes that noisy or did you just get unlucky?
Ofcourse not, that would be extremely annoying. This noise has a pretty constant frequency which suggests that something was hitting the spokes of one of the wheels. At 2/3 the noise disappears for a while and then comes back less loud.

Wanneer komt dit in de krant?
😉 🤫
Wtf mijn appartementencomplex ligt op de route. Grappig. Moest wel wennen aan verkeer, fiets en wandelverkeer hebben hetzelfde nivo. Geen trottoirs.

David van der Gulik the sidewalk there is very narrow tbh and that makes it even more significant
That sounds like an OV bike lmao
Ma che bici rumorosa!
@Roosje Keizer sembra una puzzolente auto a gasolio.
Je moet echt iets aan je fiets doen 😂 beetje WD-40 of zo kraakt van alle kanten
Ik zal het aan de NS doorgeven. Dat was een OV-Fiets. :-)
you went the wrong way, this is the ugly side of Hilversum
Nice I like married whit women on this place because I don't have to buy a Carr nice bike and everything OK
They want a car TOO
@@Saartje05
They want a car, a bycicle and then they go by public transport:)
