My latest video: A 340-metre-long cycling bridge with a name to match its curves; Anaconda in Lelystad turns 20.
I went to see how this striking structure, and its smaller neighbour, have aged in the Netherlands’ youngest province.

In the Netherlands, cycling is as much a social activity as it is a healthy, efficient, and sustainable way to get from A to B.
The key? Good infrastructure planning and design!

Reading in Life After Cars about kids being able to get around by themselves, saving their parents time, exactly at the moment my two 11-year old sons are cycling home together from school, having a fun time together and saving me time, so I can read this great book!

The Dutch make more than 500 million recreational cycling trips per year.
This huge number didn't just come out of the blue. Behind it is a proven strategy of five core principles in the Dutch approach to cycling:
✅Cohesion
✅Directness
✅Safety
✅Comfort
✅Attractiveness

Periodic reminder: when it comes to bike parking facilities, size DOES matter!
With three floors and 12,500 places, it's just a matter of remembering where you put your bike 😉

Although the work is far from finished, the new intersection is now open. Without traffic lights, the flow of traffic on the main route has improved dramatically.
I'll soon check out how it works during peak hours and what the new design means for traffic from the side streets.

Over 60 cyclists pass on this side of the street in under 30 seconds. And their flow only stops because the traffic light turned red.
An efficiency impossible to match if these people were driving.

Dutch traffic lights now have a new feature: beg buttons for different sized animals.
Instead of jaywalking, dogs, geese, mice and other animals of similar size can now use the designated crosswalks and cross the streets safely!
(bigger animals may use the beg button for humans)

The more walkable and bikeable cities are, the more pleasant they are to visit and live in and the more healthy, prosperous and resilient they are.
This visualization shows where you can walk and bike in Utrecht. The cycling and walking paths practically cover the entire city!

The design of the new Maliebaan intersection in Utrecht, which connects two bicycle streets on the main cycle route from the Central Station to the University area, is slowly taking shape.

Side-by-side tandems are a game changer for people who, for whatever reason, can no longer cycle independently.
Thanks to the bike and a buddy (often a volunteer) these people can get moving again.
Besides a lot of cycling happiness, this also benefits physical and mental health!
