Thought it was fun to show how we store our bicycles in main cities in the Netherlands. I always wonder where my tax money goes

I'm a big bicycle fan and I'm not alone. 23 million bicycles for 17 million people...


As I watch a great many travel videos, I saw your linked video a while back. Compare the Netherlands with the bicycle pollution in PRC (Communist China). What a waste of raw material and labor but the images make great patterns! How would a company even find and reclaim its property?

This is insane! Indeed a waste of resources. Same with Evergrande. Millions of homes unoccupied. We have shortages of both...

In the center of Eindhoven there are three lanes, I learned the hard way. One, the highest, for pedestrians, the next for bicycles, and the lowest, closest to the road for scooters/motorcycles. I Nijmegen, I took this photo from an upper floor of a hotel, through a window.
Excuse the quality. I'd guess Nijmegen's station is half the size of Eindhoven's.
