Interactions in rush hour traffic when cycling in the Netherlands.

Those are all mandatory cycle paths aren't they? Weren't you supposed to take the cycle path at the roundabout?

[DavidHembrow]

@CaptainChaos It's allowed. For me it's a little more convenient at that roundabout, but it's not a big issue.

Hi David, @3.55 the speedbump: would a normal car run aground here? I didn't know it was there to deter cars (blushing). I do have to slow down a bit for these speedbumps but it's not nearly as dangerous as the vertical posts that are meant to stop cars going onto the cyclepath.

@twilwel Actually, what it's for is a bit of a guess. I'm not 100% sure. I don't think a car would run aground. Service vehicles need to be able to get down there.

i've been to netherlands a few times and tomorrow im going again.. Last time i drove a bike was 5 years ago before entering netherlands for the first time, my heart was just pounding in a busy big city hoping i dont screw up or violate any traffic rules since it had been such a long time since i drove a bike. But suprisingly it was easy and comfortable! unlike in Finland. This video gave me the extra heart rate again but im sure i'll get used to it again

t=6m58s or with cold hands. I saw lots of people with 1 hand in their pocket.
