But the US is the greatest country huh?

Now if only the trains would have enough seating space on busy lines during busy hours, instead of bursting at the seams, forcing me close to people who have, shall we say, different ideas about personal hygiene. I have had to do this for years. I'll commute in my Twizy, thank you very much.

I lived in hilly Ithaca, NY, for several years and all buses had bike racks on front in those days. They could only hold two bikes, but better than nothing.

Major challenge: sufficient space for bicycles on trains. Nearly non-existent

Just got back from Europe. Lots of bicycles and accommodation for them. Europe is way ahead of us in lots of ways.

See what your country can do when big oil isn’t given the reigns of power. And see what your country can do when it isn’t constantly hobbled by shiftless, primitive confederate scum!

The difference between cycling in Amsterdam and London is the type of bikes used. In London cyclists tear around on racing bikes with their heads down making them a danger to pedestrians

If only such technology existed in our country.

Would love for our infrastructure in the U.S. to be built around bike-train intermodality than Waymos. @governor.ca.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

It would certainly help all major US cities , im saving to purchase a decent ebike meantime I'll use a regular mtb

And close the circle with cheap plentiful bike hire at the destination.

its only as expensive as a taxi

Marvellous

Denver needs to learn from this. We have a fairly decent light rail system that mimics our commuter patterns. However, our cycling infrastructure is pretty much only good in the downtown core. I know the city is working on this, but I think current plans are insufficient.

Fantastic. Thank you.

Now all we Americans have to do is get off of our fat asses and actually exercise.

Cars are for suckers.

Intermodality, including walking, needs to be front and centre of any infrastructure planning process, not just multimodality.

💯 exactly.

I’m so envious of this system. It’s a no-brainer.

💯 As we often say, putting bikes on trains—especially during peak hours—negatively impacts the capacity, reliability, and scalability of the commuting system, and should be generally limited to recreational and touristic travel.

Good question. I think it requires the personalised OV-Chipkaart, which would mean not (easily) available to tourists.

2.5kms? Wimp. 8-10 kms is short enough to ensure that the weather doesn't change on you during that leg

How do you deal with the psychopaths on the train threatening everyone with knives and guns and stealing their bikes? Oh, right, that's only the US

Is that an e-bike at the 0:17 mark of the video?

Matter of perspective. In the US, you are absolutely right! In the Netherlands, oversized SUVs generally don't try to kill you. Take a look at how things _can_ be: youtu.be/r-TuGAHR78w?...

Collisions are not a problem when you have good prevalent bike lanes. Accidents are rare when you have a population of experienced cyclists and good roads.

America is third world!

I didn’t know the Netherlands had a range problem.

awesome!

Last time my 101 year old client left on a tandem bicycle. It's healthy and most keep going as long as they can!

ha! what happens to Rich people like me who'll very nearly die laughing--at a bunch of aching pensioners some rainy, cold morning, forced onto trams or bicycles in their declining years, while I cruise by in my 7-series BMW touring sedan with the heat on full blast?? I may gag from laughter!

Bike-friendly infrastructure can be designed to also work well for tricycles, wheelchairs, electric mobility scooters, and pedestrians.

“Car-centric design allow room for nothing else, excluding those who cannot drive.” This. 💯 I’m so fuckin tired of hearing car drivers complain about bike riders and/or investment in cycling and pedestrian friendly infrastructure.

You don't need balance on a tricycle or a power chair.

I want this in America so badly it hurts.
