Fishing for Bikes in the Amsterdam Canals
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2017
- File this under “only in Amsterdam”: fishing for BIKES. As one of the world’s most bicycle-friendly cities, there are, in fact, more bikes than humans in the Dutch capital. And with some 60 miles of canals winding through the city, odds are that a missing bike met its fate at the bottom of one. That’s where skipper Jan de Jonge and his crew come in with their giant claw machine …

i don't trust edited comment
What came first? The bicycle or the beer can?
Lucid in
The Amsterdam tour boat guides weren't kidding when they told us the joke is that the canals are "1/3 water, 1/3 mud, and 1/3 bicycles". XP
My god that guy must be good at the claw machine.
That claw isn't rigged though
I've just spent my whole day watching your videos and gaining a lot of knowledge and inspiration from them. I love this channel and whenever I open the RUclips I click your video. don't stop keep inspiring.
Love From: INDIA
Vaishali Bhardwaj stop killing dogs
Thats not India my guy
I love Great Big Story as well ♥️ Unfortunately, covid put them out of business.
"Only in Amsterdam!" Yeah, and every other big enough Dutch city.
Came here to say the same thing lol.
Any big city with a canal and shared bikes or scooters.
WOW! This is a reupload with the right subtitles! Great job Great Big Stories!
Well not only in Amsterdam, also in other dutch cities with a lot of grachten
love these videos, you guys should make a patreon so we can support your channel
Jan de Jongen means "John the Kid/Boy" in Dutch. Quite fitting considering his job is just the adult version of the arcade claw machine.
ahhh the weeeed
TheRealKicas probably Shitty weed for like 30 bucks or whatever 30 bucks in Europe is for a gram
@@disfoo2466 hope you realise that is like really racist plus I'm dutch :/ so please don't say that and America is like really obnoxious
ast malaysia, our canals have a lot sago logs with fish and prawns.very eco-friendly
He said people throw them after a night out ? Is this normal in Amsterdam ? Buy a bike for the night and once you're over it, throw it in the water? Is this a daily thing? I have so many questions!
No. Drunk people throw other people's bikes in the canals because they think its funny and they wanna throw something and the first thing they see is a bike. I've found my bike multiple times in the bushes, luckily there wasnt a canal nearby. Someone would never throw their own bike in the canal, because a bike is very precious to a dutchman, its our main transportation.
Laura Montalvan lol i got so many answers
hahaha fishing for bikes is freaking awesome! it's like playing an arcade claw machine everyday.
I miss you, great bug story! 😞
I love Amsterdam!
This is also why it can be really dangerous to either fall or jump into the canals in Amsterdam, either because you are really drunk and can not keep your balance anymore, or if you are really drunk and decide to do something stupid. The risk of getting caught in a bicycle wheel or to get stuck to a different part while you are under water is pretty big.
I love the Dutch.
And we love you
I live in dutch
Same
Thanks i love my country to
@@morriskoolwijk1385 OMG XD
can you ever do a vid about Lithuania. would be intresting :p
This one time i got bored and welded a grappling hook together to fish for bikes. I actually got some working bikes from the canal.
same happens in Utrecht and in Zwolle etc and in Groningen.
;-; amazing
Maybe they should do a segment on throwing Obikes into the Yarra River in Melbourne?
Actually bikes grow underwater they spawn in winter, in spring the young new bikes are fished out of the water, no bikes do not come from a factory.
i love this channel fuck a college degree
PARK JI MIN 😂😂😂 I wish you were one of my parents.
Thanks for taking my comment into consideration!

People throwing bikes and even shopping carts into the water isn't uncommon in Holland
not so sure whether i should laugh or worry about this.
Those two guys should dress up as little aliens. The claw, the claw
Nasty but kinda satisfying.

Harrypotterlover36577 !! So?
This is a city full of weed. I live here by the way.
Super Samet3 what about the living cost in Amsterdam? and how much for the weed?
first like first comment
*looking at comments*
Weed....
5th gard weed jokes amirite
Dutch (Or the language they were speaking) sounds a lot like english
DOGS ARE ADORABLE All my classmates tell me that after they (frequently) ask me to say something in Dutch 😂, but I always think Dutch is COMPLETELY different from English.
Gave a great day! 😄
You should hear Frisian then, sounds even more like English
Dutch!
Batavian Republic nee
STOP WITH THE WEED
Me as a cyclist: : (
Free LSD to those who comment.
I know I always throw my bike in the water after a "night out"........drugs plus bikes equals......bikes in the canal...glad they aren't driving cars
Did she say weed?
XxSimplyMajesticxX yes, Dutch people like weed especially in A'dam
can the myth about weed in the Netherlands pls stop.
it's like California here.
your aloud to have up to 5 plants per household for personal consumption.
and the police isn't actively trying to punish people who smoke weed outside.
but it's not like everyone is wearing klompen holding tulips and smoking a blunt underneath a windmill.
This is why you blow the bike riders up...no more bike riders no more bikes...clear river...problem solved
The narrator asking the people questions is so cringe.
am so disgusted
IKEA
3rd like third comment lol
This is pathetic compared to Copenhagen:)
