Amsterdam: The Bicycling Capitol of Europe

Back


Amsterdam has created a bicycle friendly city that promotes a healthier, more active lifestyle for its residents. With people meeting face to face instead of bumper to bumper, the city challenges us to rethink our car centered-lives here in the United States.

hehe, the difference with Holland and many other countries is that Holland is pretty flat and small. So cycling is easy, in other countries distances may be much longer and not so flat, so bikes wouldnt be so convienent.

There weren't any bike taxis when this movie was made - the bike taxis are here only a couple of years now, after the yellow trams disappeared (being replaced by the combino's... yech).

I didnt even know that we have a holiday for it lol. And you dont dont need a license to ride.
Only as a kid, you get this test at school but thats just to check that you know that you have to put your light on and stuff.

That is good. Drugs and prostitution is good. I don't think it really matters if a country is socialistic these days. I don't think anywhere is operating under a free market system. The USA is just one big mercantile nightmare with the constitution hanging by a thread. 2/3s of the world is either a dictatorship or a "democracy" that tosses away individual rights whenever the mob gets goaded into fear. Anyways... Peace and happiness be with the dutch people! Humanity will be free one day!
