Such a wonderful ride! I watch all of the time, but rarely comment. As an American, I can only experience this when we visit the Netherlands, which, sadly, does not happen frequently enough.
if you have the money to fly to Europe on vacation, you're surely privileged enough to participate in lobbying your local government for better cycling facilities. Just saying.
@@r.d.9399 yup. A 7 lane road will be reconfigured into a new road with 4 car lanes, a dedicated LRT system, and wide speared bike lanes or each side. In total the 11 mile long road will be a huge different to my town. Slowly but surely.
These bike routes in rural areas are so nice to cycle on, just being able to take in the surroundings without having to worry about getting rammed by a car. I used to cycle from my hometown to the local train station everyday and even though i had to cycle for 45 minutes i didn't mind a second of it
Been reading a lot of old blogs from A View To The Cycle Path recently and noticed there really is no stopping! That's what differs this from the UK. In the UK you'd be constantly stopping for barriers, dogs, traffic lights
When I cycle to work (15 mins through the city centre) it's a disappointing ride if I have to come to a complete stop more than twice. But the funny thing is, I only really realized this when I got into the cyclists' community on RUclips. I was just so used to it and didn't really realize why cycling in other places felt so interrupted and slow. So I had a similar moment but from the other perspective :)
I know that feeling to well! In Switzerland, we're pretty much in the same situation. One time you're cycling in a nice separated bike path (which is already a rare event), and the next you're dumped on a 4-lanes road, with right turn only outer lane, so you're forced to bike in between cars that go twice as fast as you do. And the sad part is that separated bike paths are considered a luxury, so that the default bike infrastructure is a dotted yellow line on the side of the road. And as a result almost nobody use that "infrastructure", so privileged anti-bike motorists use that as an argument against bike infrastructure. Some people are even suing my home town over some on-street bike lanes... For decades we've dedicated most of our public spaces to drivers and since now we're finally giving it back to all the other modes of transportation, those entitled pricks of motorists are throwing a tantrum and trying to sabotage all the progress we're making! Thankfully progressive local lawmakers keep getting (re)elected due to a low voter turnout among car-centrist conservatives, but the day these people realize it and start voter more often, we're doomed! They already have their own party that ran last year on the platform of removing bike lanes and building more parking spaces, just to show how close we are to become a car-centrist hellhole...
I cannot believe how nice this is. I live in Denton Texas where there is little to no bike infrastructure. The few places there are bike lanes, they are used as car parking spots. Sidewalks often end abruptly without ramps onto dirt/grass and cars often swerve into or cutoff cyclists on the road to psych them out. Seeing these videos give me real hope for the future. Your videos are so relaxing and beautiful! Thank you for making them!
It’s a college town (lots of car-less students) with a lot of people pushing for biking infrastructure. Everywhere deserves good biking infrastructure and I think it would positive changes would be instantly adopted as students are very eager for it. It would be a perfect test town, but yeah I don’t know if I can see it actually happen.
I think maybe the most tragic thing of all living in the UK, not just as a cyclist but as a citizen in general isn’t the fact that we don’t have quality bike infrastructure, or any one particular thing. It’s the fact that as a country, we don’t even recognise that our quality of life has been slipping further and further down compared to countries like the Netherlands. In all areas of infrastructure, as well as the natural environment and everything else you can think of. The right to protest, healthcare etc. We can’t even accept that we have a problem that needs fixing.
I don't know why we Anglophones are so conservative about infrastructure, which should always be about development. We never care about improving anything. Look at our railways. They are not subsidised like in every civilised country. Even the third world does better than that. Somebody at Toyota said (I heard this from Sandy Munro, who talks about electric cars) that 'We must always be dissatisfied so that we may improve'.
@@موسى_7 Yeah, agree about the railways. But electric cars are now right wing. I had two small EVs from 2016 to last year, before I realised car ownership, even of EVs is stupid. It’s too late for us to build a Dutch style bike network and have EV ownership. We need to ban all private cars immediately, use the roads as bike lanes with a few exceptions where we build some infrastructure in areas with lots of buses or vans. I think we probably only have a few years to totally transform the way we live before the climate passes all the tipping points and it gets out of human control. If even that long.
I did that route quite some times, mostly to go or come back from Moergestel or Berkel-Enschot. Did not know it was that old. Thanks! Groetjes uit Tilburg.
Super scenic, enjoyable and stress free ride, a mini aggravation was a momentary wait when crossing Moerstelsestraat and a micro moment when rounding some wet, leaf littered bends , ha ha , I'm joking.. If only we had a fraction of such cycling infrastructure in the Antipodes !
Thanks for posting, I still know Oisterwijk and Tilburg pretty well. Used to live in Haaren many many years ago, before we moved to Melbourne Australia. Nice to see this again,,👍
Around Tilburg there are some great bicycles paths through nature reserves. There are several through Oisterwijkse Vennen and one straight through the Kampinaheide. You can also bike in and around the Loonse en Drunense Duinen.
Once again a successful video. I watch almost all the videos, the quality is very very good. Are you still filming with the GoPro 8 or 9? Or have you bought another camera in the meantime? Best regards, Klaus from Germany
A part of groing up in Oisterwijk. From a young age we ride this route too the city. And from a young age went alone with friends. Because of the safe route no need for taxis, parents driving us or going with costly train/bus.
Leuk. Ik heb die route ook een keertje genomen, maar langs de spoordijk is nogal saai. Over de Bosscheweg is mooier vanwege de vele landhuizen. Je kunt ook rechtstreeks via de Oisterwijkse Baan gaan en daarna de Broekstraat.
Beautiful route. I live in Tilburg but I've never cycled to Oisterwijk tbh. Sadly the city itself is still surprisingly car centric in a way, by Dutch standards. Don't get me wrong the cycling infra is all there, but we also have a 2 lane 50k/h "city ring" right through the city centre that is used as thoroughfare by a lot of people. The very first road in the video is part of that ring. Fortunately they're already making it much more autoluw and are converting it into 1 lane, traffic calmed 30km/h traffic with modal filters to discourage through traffic, making room for nice patios, greenery and other interesting things. Should make the city centre much more pleasant to be in.
It's one year later now and the so called "city ring" is being renovated. It's being made more bicycle friendly. As always, we do love our bikes and cars are not really welcome.
Like the videos thank you ,, could you write the time in the title, gives a better sense of the active life, going to or from school or work ect, asking alot but I like your videos that much
If the crosser would've pressed the button it'd probably turned green immediately. But as there's very few pedestrians there, they can shorten the green time as cyclists cross faster.
The light for pedestrians generally does not change unless someone presses the button. For bikes on the other hand it turned green because there was no cross traffic AND the system has detection loops to know if there is a bike so it would know when it's safe to turn it red for cross traffic. Since there was no traffic in the turning lane there was no reason to have the light for bicycles be red.
Since the announcement of the National Highway Act in 1956 by the guy from Abilene (ks) Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) a lot have been changed in da USA.

Watching this was good for my soul. Thank you!
I'm loving the parts when the bike and car routes run side by side and the bike path looks a lot newer and shinier than the beaten-up looking road!
I have little hope for anything like this coming to the US, but gee I would cry tears of joy if it did.

This bicycle infrastructure is everywhere in The Netherlands
If Texas were to have Bicycle infrastructure like this it would occur in the big Cities first,like Dallas and Houston.

I sometimes go this route to my parents. The road at 11:41 is now better, they poured new asphalt and the crossing is red asphalt too.
I remember that bit at the start from when I went to Tivilo for a concert. :-)
I would love to see a video about the “fietsstraat”
This is spectacular!
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
Like the videos thank you ,, could you write the time in the title, gives a better sense of the active life, going to or from school or work ect, asking alot but I like your videos that much
Oisterwijk? There is a small town named "Osterwieck" near the German Harz mountains. Funny!
Dutch cities are so nice. They're like London but nicer and more traditional and more sustainable.
Better teeth as well

Infelizmente no Brasil este formato de vídeo não recebe grande atenção. LIKE!
0:55 Red light for pedestrians, green light for bicycle
If the crosser would've pressed the button it'd probably turned green immediately. But as there's very few pedestrians there, they can shorten the green time as cyclists cross faster.

What is the distance between the two Cities?
Hi, just wondering about your camera. What kind is it ??
hahah same here
@@maartenecheverria8270 The answer is in the comments below the blog
I can't imagine any small size camera having this quality

11:48 🐮🐄
it's how many kilometres? any one plz
9.2km as stated in the blog post, which also shows a map. Link in the discription.
Try Eindhoven to Weert Tru Belgium
Ik denk dat waarschijnlijk geen land zo eene goede infrastructure voor de fietsers hebt dan Nederland.
