What defines Dutch cycling?

[schizer]

Wait. You mean you can just hitch onto anybody's bike while they're cycling??

[Joe90V]

Notice there isn't a helmet in sight - no need for helmet hysteria when the right infrastructure is provided.

[Mercianboy]

Defined by sit up and beg bikes perhaps?

[DutchKid121]

I'm from Holland and this brings back sooo many memories :)

[YouJohnPsycho]

The examples of people jumping on the back rack are hilarious. I love seeing Marc v. W's photos of this, but you show the video!

[Jessiebt]

BTW that's how you need to cycle. Yes (mostly) the UK you don't need to put cyclist in danger by sending them on the road with a bunch of idiots like WVM and taxi's.

[gurney85]

@TheScorpionRMA WVM? White Van Maniacs?

Here in the UK you often get children giving each other "backies" with the rear stunt pegs of BMX bikes. Fewer bikes have rear racks here, and they tend to be narrower.

[TemiZee]

@christhebull plus, majority are meant for weight up to 15 kg only....

Now you know why our cyclepaths prefarably are 2.5 metres wide or more (for a one way cyclepath): so that two cyclists riding alongside eachother can still be overtaken without needing to brake.

when i worked in holland, my employer wanted me to carry a 6 foot tall shelf unit across town, balanced on my bike rack.

Problem was, it was really windy and it acted like a sail - totally out of control through busy streets.

(would have made a good silly cyclist video).

[SkrzypczykBass]

Awesome! 2 girls, 1 bike :-)

[alexwarrior1]

I see the umbrella one here a lot, but not the others!

[09conrado]

2:08 I love the shot of the two fat cops cycling alongside. Very funny. Cycling together is twice as much fun!

Q. What defines Dutch cycling?

A. Its just plain NORMAL!!!!!

[juandenz2008]

No mention about cycling after visiting a "coffeeshop"? Ha ha. I'm only joking so nobody hate on me !

[grubgrob]

I reckon Japan does cycling with umbrellas better, some bikes have umbrella mounts on them too also sharing WITH friend too.. They win (only) those section hands down. However Cycling WITH a friend .. Dutch Cycling wins EASY.

[nitramluap]

I've done every one of these... some of which are illegal in my country (Australia). Yes, we like prohibiting fun & enjoyment... ;)

[CyclingMikey]

@nitramluap I've done every one of those too, except for carrying a flea taxi. :P

[busog97641]

That was fun watching it, makes one want to get out and cycle.

[alextact]

Love it. I am thoroughly jealous of your cycling infrastructure!

[jonokenyon]

[TheScorpionRMA]

@jonokenyon Steriotype soundtrack and yes i misspeld that just as that because i'm dutch xD but still fun music
