Demand segregated bike paths!
This is top notch cycling infra, even for the Netherlands. You rarely see them this wide.

Yea, I suppose that’s what prompted the picture. Never seen rush hour bike traffic that compares to Utrecht though.
Wow that is the dream.
Uhm can we have trains instead? I'm disabled and can not w.... Wait I can just ride my wheelchair everywhere Yes this is heaven
I lived there for 4 years. The first time I experienced a bike traffic jam was in this spot. Bizarre experience. No engines or horns, so it's totally quiet. Maybe someone will ding a bell, or chat to their friend while waiting for the lights to change.
How did you feel about it? It sounds like a pleasant experience compaired to car traffic.
Oh yeah it was lovely unless I was really running late, haha. But yes much better than cars.
Where is this?
This is Utrecht, the 4th largest city of the Netherlands. This is the ugliest spot in town. It's the road between the station and the town centre, so at peak hour it's full of bikes.
Utrecht is like Amsterdam without the tourists. Absolutely wonderful. I loved my time there.
Netherlands.
I love segregation
uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
Especially at train stations like the Utrecht Centraal where this pic is taken.

Segregated is not the best word to use for the marketing campaign.
