Wow the cycling infrastructure is so amazing in the Netherlands ! In New Zealand they don't have dedicated cycling paths. They typically just paint a line on the side of a regular street and say "this is a cycle path". It's really dangerous because you have to share the road with crazy car, bus and truck drivers !
@wildeny It only turns red when it detects that a vehicle is approaching, it is default green for bikes. You can see it turns green again right after the bus passes. The bell is for extra attention.
Mark, awesome work, the world thanks you. Any videos in your style of Dutch roads from a car? Or people (also older people) using buses, trains, stations - park bike or car; payment; get a seat, ride, get off; then bike or walk to a destination. And scenes of many pedestrians. To show that even with so many on bikes, driving / walking infrastructure is high quality also. It may be hard for people to relate to the bikes (I'm in Los Angeles) without thinking there must be a catch.
takie rzeczy tylko w Holandii, ja chcę do Holandii !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So strange that we all adapt the "finger/hand in the air" as a thank you.. while we never learn it at school..

"Finger up in the air means thank you". It depends of which finger you are raising! :-)
That's not a gesture I will risk doing in Paris, for fear of being misinterpreted.

At 1:07 (bus track crossing), how does the traffic signal work? Does it ring (change the signal) when a bus/car coming automatically?

Thank you for another great video. Some sections of the path seem a bit narrow for Dutch standards. Is that true?
MrBfratto 3 months ago
@MrBfratto for modern Dutch standards yes. Most of this was built in the 1980s and things changed.

@markenlei So Australia is about 25 years behind in bicycle infrastructure. I hope I live long enough to see the change.
