Here's a new take on my Lessons from the Dutch... Playing a round of #LFTDBingo with @nicthedoor.bsky.social in Eindhoven, and seeing how many Dutch cycling design elements and everyday cycling behaviours we could tick off... What would your city score in #LFTDBingo?

We’ve been enjoying @nicthedoor.bsky.social’s series on his latest trip to the Netherlands. He’s good at finding interesting things beyond what other videos cover, and the drone shots are excellent.

This episode features @bicycledutch.bsky.social!
