Loved this! I cycled in -24C/deep winter earlier today... The Hague is a nice big change from that!! Bet gears and brakes don't freeze up on you in The Hague! Normally when it gets close to over -15C I find it too cold for cycling. Cool video!!

This must have been done on one of the few days a year when it does not rain in Holland.

pfff I hate going through that main shopping street so much...every single time it's as if all peds are colour blind...no attention to bikers whatsoever...especially in the weekends

peds are extinct in Los Angeles, everyone [often rude] have to be in auto to get somewhere, so much better here in the Netherlands. thx.

in my country...this is suicide :)))

I always have to ring my cycle-bell more than 5 times for those pedestrians.

Four years ago we had a meeting in Den Haag and were told that there was a shared street that didn't work very well. I think that's the one you found at 2:00 to 3:30. We were also told that the cycling rate of Den Haag was "low" for the Netherlands as just 30% of journeys are by bike. You can really see the difference in quality of provision and pleasantness of cycling in Den Haag compared with other Dutch cities.

Love your videos! Please do a ride through Nijmegen, my favorite Dutch city,
I had a discussion with a bloke that was in favour of shared paths, whereas I tend to favour seperate cycle lanes, and seperate footpaths. He said that in The Netherlands all are shared paths and said he has been there, is this correct?

@KrunchyJD Germany has a lot of shared (bicycle/pedestrian) paths. In the Netherlands those are extremely rare and where they exist people don't like them. The shared shopping street in this video is a complete disaster. So most bicycle paths in the NL are only for bikes, they are almost never shared with pedestrians.
