@saxeharp I've had many bikes with gears, but they didn't last very long and weren't reliable enough for everyday use. Some even broke down within a few months.

Nice to see normal kids cycling into school. I cycle my daughter in to a school of 400 and there's maybe four cyclests on any given day. And fifty 4x4s and 90% of the kids live within 1.5 km of the school . and more children would arrive by car then any other transport. Talk about a car dependent society.

Thanks for this David, I feel all alone on my new Dutch bike here in Sydney, so its great to stoke up on the vibe and go out and pretend it is somewhere in Holland. Totally in rapture at Schubert's music too.

Most Dutch (and other) utility cycles if they ahve gears are internal hub gears; this allows (among other things) bikes to be equipped with chain guards or even full chain cases, which have two advantages:
1. The chain in protected from the dirt and muck of the road (as the gears are by being tucked inside the hub).
2. The rider's trouser legs are protected from the oil and dirt on the chain, thus making it possible to cycle in street clothing rather than special 'cycling' clothing.

If this were only in NSW.

It's interesting that there appear to VERY few machines with derailleur gears. Are all the bikes there single speed because of the flat roads?
And don't see many recumbents.

Saxeharp, predominantly people look for reliable bikes for their everyday journeys - hence the lack of derailleur gears. Quite a lot do have hub gears, though.
This isn't anything really do do with the topography, but is what you find anywhere that cycling is a mass activity.
There are many recumbents. Several manufacturers within cycling distance. This morning I'm going on a ride with some of the local riders. See my other videos. Recumbents are simply diluted by the practical bikes.

It so easily could have been. However, no. It was always bunches of children waiting for their friends to arrive so that they could ride along to school en-masse.
