The most beautiful bicycle parking in Amsterdam! Strawinskylaan
Last year the Strawinskylaan bicycle parking garage opened at Amsterdam Zuid, and it's the most beautiful garage in the city!
Check-in is with an OV Chipkaart, the Dutch public transit card. Parking is free for the first 24 hours, and then €1,25 for each additional 24 hours.
This garage has a special area for cargo bikes (bakfietsen), and in this video you see me parking a typical Dutch bakfiets, alongside many others.

THE U
the-ugly,-dangerous,-and-inefficient
Stroads are streets that are designed like roads and in doing so, fail at being good at either one. They are too sprawling and hostile to be good streets, and they are too busy and complicated to be good roads. Stroads are inefficient, unsafe, expensive, and ugly.
This video introduces the concept of Stroads, and talks about why you will (almost) never find these kind of places in the Netherlands: because here all roads need to have a single purpose as either a motorway, connector road, or end-destination street.
The name "stroad" was invented by Strong Towns as a way to explain why road design in the US is fundamentally broken.

where-the-bicycle-was-invented-and
"Coventry - The City That Nearly Forgot The Bicycle"
This special guest video was produced by Adam Tranter, the Bicycle Mayor for Coventry, in the UK.
Coventry holds an important place in the history of the bicycle. It is the city where both the penny-farthing, as well as the safety bicycle - the template for almost all modern bicycles - was invented.
In this short documentary, Adam explains the history of cycling in Coventry, and about the realities of cycling in Coventry today. Comparisons to Amsterdam and the Netherlands are provided.
This film will be shown as part of the Coventry Transport Museum's new exhibition Gearing Up: From Saddle to Spoke online on Friday 12 March 2021. The exhibition (https://culturespacecoventry.com/gearing-up) – which it is hoped will open physically when the museum reopens – features over 80 cycles and celebrates the history, unique designs, and benefits of cycling.
You can find out more about Adam here: https://www.adamtranter.com or follow him on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/adamtranter

WHY G
why-grocery-shopping-is-better-in
When it comes to differences between life in North America versus life in the Netherlands, grocery shopping might just be the biggest thing.
In this video I discuss the differences between the fresh-food approach taken in the Netherlands compared to the bulk shopping car-centric approach of North America. For our family, it's not even a question: we think the Dutch approach is far superior.

I AM
i-am-not-a-cyclist-and-most-dutch-people
I am not a "cyclist", but I do ride a bicycle almost every day ... along with hundreds of other people who are also not "cyclists".
One thing I really appreciate about the Netherlands is that there is no sigma or group dynamics to riding a bicycle. There's no "bicycle culture" in the Netherlands, just like there's no "shoe culture" for people who walk where you live. It's just another option that you can use if it's more convenient (and it often is, due to properly designed road infrastructure).

a-small-change-for-safer-walking-leading
Walking in North American car-infested cities sucks, but one small change that could make them marginally less crappy is leading pedestrian intervals. These have been shown to lead to a decrease in crashes, and generally makes walking more pleasant.

Learn how this kind of urban design has been illegal in most of the US and Canada for a century, and why it should be brought back.
