Bicycle rush hour Utrecht (Netherlands) 2011

The 2011 version of the morning bicycle rush hour in Utrecht (Netherlands). The original 2010 version can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-AbPa...
Many people did not like that that version was sped up. So this version is in real time. At this location in the center of Utrecht (close to the railway, lightrail and bus station) all cycle routes come together.
More Info; see the 2010 video.

I love that blue/yellow bike that shows up @1:59, does anyone know what it is and if it's available outside of the Netherlands?

Those are bikes from the bike share program of the Dutch Railways: OV-Fiets

[Rikketje88]

hoe laat is dit ongeveer?

[markenlei]

tussen acht en en half negen. (This was filmed between 8 and 8:30 am)

I don't even watch the video, I just read the comments from foreigners xD Funny as hell. I don't see anything special, yet they are amazed.

Nobody wears a helmet. Dutch people seem to be resistant to stupid pro-helmet propaganda.

I've had only one accident on the bike in all my years! and that was with the snow XD

De mais a maneira de como isso ocorre naturalmente, esse vídeo faz o Brasil parecer um bebê que recém começou a engatinhar.

It is rather funny when you come to think of it. When you are part of the bike rush hour, you have no idea how busy it really is.

[Roosje Keizer]

Not to worry. We all speak English.

everything about this video makes me want to visit here, can you get by without knowing the language?

I've lived in the Netherlands my whole life and personally I've never seen someone crash on the head. First of all, our country is kind of flat, so we don't have a lot of slopes where cyclists could speed off from with a greater chance of falling. Secondly, we got good infrastructure for bicycles, separating cyclists from motorised traffic and so making it safer. And if you do get hit by a car, you should be lucky to only have minor injuries, even when wearing a helmet.

...until you have an accident.

probably not very well, but if you're going to learn another language you may as well do it properly.
