Why Is Cycling Actually the Fastest Way to Get Around Amsterdam?

Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world, but why is cycling actually faster than driving? In this video, I'll show you exactly why. During a real bike ride through Amsterdam, I explain why so many locals choose a bicycle over a car. From dedicated bike lanes and bike bridges to shortcuts, narrow streets, limited parking and the city's compact layout, Amsterdam is designed to make cycling the quickest way to travel. You'll also see everyday cycling in Amsterdam, Dutch bike infrastructure, traffic situations, and why finding a parking space can sometimes take longer than the bike ride itself. Whether you're visiting Amsterdam, planning a trip to the Netherlands, or simply curious about Dutch cycling culture, this video gives you a local perspective on why the bicycle is king.

I lived in 5 places in different districts of Amsterdam. Since I was a little Tycho, I've always had a big passion for movies, filming and just creating things in general. Stuff like drawing comics, making songs or boardgames, writing poetic rhymes for my friends, anything! In my free time I host tourists in my living-room for free (through couchsurfing.com). Through the years I've hosted hundreds of people from all over the world, I've walked countless of times through Amsterdam & beyond. This channel is where I combine my hobbies!
