Cycling in a mix of snow and rain in 's-Hertogenbosch (NL) 

Bad weather and cycling in The Netherlands. My dad lived North of Amsterdam and worked in Amsterdam, for 38 years. Every morning he took his bicycle and rode to the Wibautstraat in Amsterdam, some 18 km for him. At the end of the afternoon he rode his bicycle back home. One morning in app 1960 there was a lot of snow and my mum felt sorry for him and asked him to take the train to work this time. In the evening, later than normal he came home. He stated, "Never again! I was late for work and now I'm late at home too"... tomorrow I go by bicycle again. It was the only legendary day in all his professional career that he took the train to work, all other days he commuted by bicycle. His employer gave him 2 cents per km and every 4-6 years he bought a new bike of that money. With a dad like that you try the same. I commuted app 30 years to work by bicycle. My dad stopped living because he didn't want to live anymore at the age of 93, after his girlfriend died, but his body still was fit.

The soundscape is truly impressive, with the city seeming alive with the audible murmur and the crunch of snow beneath feet and bicycle tires. Until 2:38

loved the bicycle umbrella!

It's more or less the same here in Poland and people cycle 😊

Sad weather, sad Hieronymus Bosch at the end of the video... But cyclists are COMING! They don't give up, they are heroes! A wonderful optimistic video, thank you, Mark!

Very nice tour, i love it my friend! 💚✨

I always look forward to your vids, Mark.

This is so comfy to watch.

Generally i enjoy snow cycling more than the rain, but this slush has me a little nervous. Worst of both it seems.

We're getting a bit of a snow storm here tonight; I can't wait to go cycle somewhere in it tomorrow. It's always so pretty and I love the crunchy sounds of the wheels on the frozen pavement ❤️

Loved "The Society Shop" at the end lol. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Oh wow! Very different from our visit in Nov. I do find it to be pretty once the snow accumulates, plus I don’t particularly like rain just above the freezing mark. hehe 😅

1:46 No problem keeping the fresh fish cold this day 🐟🧊😅

Lovely! Or rather: glovely 😁

thanks enjoyed the ride

Just be carefull out there, you had a fall in the snow before, I seem to remember. Mind you, there was a lot of more snow then.Hope there won't be too much more this year. Stay warm🙂👍.

Ah, sleet, the most wonderful weather...

Toch wel gezellig de sneeuw, een klein beetje winter.

@bicycledutch could you do a video on snow removal in the Netherlands? I am really curious how they prioritize plowing cycle routes, sidewalks, car streets, and trolley routes (what is plowed first? What different machines they use?)

Friday morning 27 January 2023, you say. Interesting.

Ah, 4:07, the Wilhelminabrug. Going from the city center to the station, or vice versa. With its beautifully carved pillars at the Station side of the bridge. One of the very few places where one still is able to find a Swastika in the wild in a Western country.

"The Netherlands have no hills or mountains so it's always comfortable to ride your bike" 🤣🤣🤣

and the most annoying thing during this trip is all that car noise...

🙂👍💛🌻

Toll mit dem Fahrrad geht es auch

Very good mudguards on Dutch bikes

Way fewer other-than-omafiets in this weather, but the fresh fish trailer is uncrowded yay!

YOU CAN'T BIKE IN THE WINTER! Just wanted to say it once.

There is no wrong weather, only wrong clothes, they say.

🥰

I was thinking of visiting Utrecht. Maybe I wont

Mark, ik ben niet echt bekend met Den Bosch.(Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe, zoete lieve Gerritje) Het beeld op de grote markt, het plein waar je de markt filmt, welk figuur is daar uitgebeeld? Liefs leafs (^.^)

4:05 Jan de Groot 😃 Toch wel meteen even Bossche Bollen wezen halen?

J'aurai trop peur de tomber.

Cycle with a cap🧢 and you won't go back. It keeps the snow and rain out of your face.

Zout op de weg.

Disgusting weather. Give me proper dry snow over this any day

do you know the concept of hills?
