Bike Rush Hour

[uhhuhlex]

I found this video on www.likecool.com today and thought I'd share here.

Morning rush hour in the 4th largest city in the Netherlands. Streets look like this when 33% of ALL trips are made by bicycle!

This is an ordinary Wednesday morning in April 2010 at around 8.30 am. Original time was 8 minutes that were compressed into 2 minutes, so everything is 4 times faster than in reality. The sound is original.

There was an article in last month's Walrus magazine about European urban/ecological design, and in it there's a bit about how eventually the author and his family gave up wearing their bike helmets, because without all the car traffic, the danger isn't as present.
