Biking in the Netherlands V01. I love it, but it's daring now.

Biking in the Netherlands. Is it becoming a challenging activity? You be the judge of that.

I grew up in the Netherlands. Using a bicycle is normal. All my life. When it's possible I use the bike to get from A to B in our surroundings. For months now I use the bike even more to travel to work. I work two days a week in the centre of Hilversum. You'd better call that the traffic jam called Hilversum. I totally missed that evolution because I traveled a lot for my regular work in the past.

Using the famous Dutch bike lanes in 2024 is totally different from, let's say, 10 years ago. So there are many new different means of transport on those bike lanes nowadays. And all sorts of traffic is crossing more often then I was used to. You have to watch carefully what you do now.

Also the "fietspaden" are more crowded now. That's a good thing I think. More and more people are willing to use a fancy bike to travel from A to B in 2024.

This here little snippet will give you a good view of my regular journey to the center of Hilversum. Enjoy and see your back soon.
