Here we present our final — and most informative — Streetfilm from Amsterdam. It provides a nice cross-section of commentary on life in the City of Bikes. If you’d like to skip directly to a certain section, use this table of contents:
0:17 Rejecting the Automobile
2:15 A bike system that works for everyone
4:05 There’s a science to what looks like "bicycle chaos"
5:55 Coming to The Netherlands from the United States
7:33 Dutch Bicycle Culture
Make sure you check out our other Streetfilms from Amsterdam: No Amsterdam is Not "Swamped" By Bikes, Amsterdam Draws Bike Boxes to Organize Bike Parking, and Some Things You Might See While In Amsterdam.
I still find it amazing that a five-year-old in Amsterdam can ride straighter and with more confidence than the average American adult!
