dit is tussen den bosch en vught

@bananensaus yep, maar het is officieel binnen de bebouwde kom van Den Bosch, vandaar ook de voorrang voor fietsers.

6.54 notice the insecure lady getting off the bike and walking across. Probably a foreigner LOL.

@twilwel if you look again you may see that it is a school girl of about 10 years old.

I can't get used to seeing cars yield to bikes. An alternate universe. In NYC, bikes are 4th class citizens.

The cyclist at 2:39 is almost asking for it to be run over.

Brilliant! Motorists that have an accurate concept of how fast a bike travels and aren't taken by surprise to find one crossing in front of them. Several times the motorists even stop BEFORE the bike gets to the crossing, waiting until the bike has safely crossed before moving on! I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven if that happened in my town ;0)

2:35 - BMW X5 being driven with caution and consideration, I was surprised when I saw this - I have been in Britain for too long.

EDIT: No, I am not hating on BMW drivers especially or SUV drivers particularly - I am just saying that in Britain there are certain types of idiots on the roads, and that they tend to favour a BMW or and Audi, especially a big one.

Ondingen vind ik dit. Op dit filmpje is het niet druk, maar in de stad zijn deze rotondes gevaarlijk! Fietsers steken hun hand niet uit en gaan er snel voor langs. Levensgevaarlijk!

@harshbarj In city's you really should signal your turns, tho bicycle's go first most of the time there too. But here's enough space to see if the person stay's on the roundabout or takes a turn, so it's not really necessary. Some people signal every turn, but I only do it on roundabouts in the city, and some corners..

@twilwel Eventhough the cars have to let the people on bikes go first, they don't always stop.. You still have to watch out..
