An extra video! 52 mins of cycling around in the core of Carmel, Indiana.
No, it’s not just those 6 blocks where you can cycle nicely!

New post: I explored surprising Carmel, Indiana. In this small Midwestern city, roundabouts and a cycle route on an abandoned railway were key elements that helped it evolve into an attractive place where people can live a car-light life!

Among the 4 largest cities in NL, The Hague ranks 3rd in cycling modal share, following Utrecht and Amsterdam, but preceding Rotterdam. However, The Hague claims the number 1 spot in walking! So, I walked (and filmed the people on bicycles).

The city centre motorway of Utrecht (NL) feels like a distant memory. It was in use from 1973 to 2009.
I compared Google Earth images from 2009 and 2024.
So much asphalt gone!

Latest traffic stats for the Netherlands reveal:

As one of the better cycling cities in the world Utrecht just published a new promotional video (with English subtitles):

“Utrecht is for the cyclist, the cyclist is for Utrecht.”

“Now show rain”: whenever I post images of cycling, there are always people who assume it is a fair-weather activity. Therefore, a new post with a glimpse of the Dutch resilience to rain. https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p=25307

At Utrecht central there are about 1,000 OV-Fiets shared bicycles to rent. The difference this rainy morning at 7:30 or 10:30.

50 years ago, the street I lived on was closed to motor traffic. A modal filter right in front of our family home may have ignited my interest in road and urban design. And there's a great deal more to uncover in this story! See my new post and video: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p=25074

The snow is back in Oulu, Finland.
How do they make all year cycling possible there?
I try to explain in this video: https://youtu.be/04US2_V4aTw

Images of exactly the cycing infrastructure in summer and winter.

General elections today in the Netherlands. The one thing we need to vote simply arrived in the mail; the “stempas” (voting pass). We also got a list with candidates, which is as big as our table top and helps prepare to find our way on the ballot form, which is as big!

Do you like watching longer rides? Then you’re in for a treat! For this week’s post I rode from Utrecht to the fresh “European city of the year”: Amersfoort. That’s a ride of over an hour. Enjoy!

Unlike some of you, perhaps, I will never get enough of this comparison! Utrecht, Catharijnebaan 1993 vs Catharijnesingel 2023. Motorway vs reconstructed canal.

For my latest post, I cycled the route of the 'Traffic Test' of my childhood again; and I'm pretty sure I would have failed this time...

Brought my Utrecht bike to the repair shop in the station bike parking garage. It has been there for four years now. This is the first time it needs a repair. They’ll fix my rattling chain and adjust my brakes.

Many people know that the Dutch tulip fields bloom in Spring, but did you know that you can also cycle to nature reserves full of blooming flowers in the Netherlands in late summer? Come along to the purple heather fields.

Utrecht station area before and after.
That road in 1981 versus the returned canal in 2023.
