I was just driving my car not to much trouble on main roads busses could have just drive probabbly made te road safer that way now we had allot of people that useally take the bus to work take the car or bike to get too work which caused way more traffic which thus increases chance of accident, and also caused for more traffic jams (although with this snow you get traffic jams none the less) but maybe i was lucky and my region wasn't hit that hard but from my point of view it was like okay its bad but not undo able. and as an edit i was driving on summer tires with a front wheel drive car

Snow? Trains get cancelled for leafs on the rails.

@@Yes_this_is_my_cat hoi

Ik!

Actually if you know how to drive on it, it's really easy. I've done a lot of MTB on loose sand in the dunes. That skill makes it really easy to drive on snow and ice for some reason. For most people I'd say it's a bit more dangerous but not undoable and otherwise just take it easy or walk for a bit

Im more scared of cars while cycling in the snow then anything else.

Helemaal niet. Mijn fiets deed het echt goed. Met wat goeie banden en remmen kan je ez fietsen.

Snow or dunes it doesn't matter on my grandma bicycle. My tires are to slim to get some grip on the ground.

During my life living in the Netherlands I learned to cycle in every condition.

i am a bit jealous, now only if I would be able to cross-country ski...

Dont let fox news know 😂👍

Skiing to work is also an option to get there... ;-) But as the Finnish people are used to winter conditions, particular in the north, I guess it is not oncommon for you to ski to work... It is told that the winter in Helsinki is pretty mild, compared to other parts of Finland. Here in the Netherlands sometimes people skate on the street to school or work when the roads are very slippery because of ice.

@@marcvanderwee Some years we don't really get snow while other years we have more snow than anywhere else in the country, the fluctuations are because of the closeness to the sea. Temperatures are higher than in more northern parts of the country, for sure. It can feel quite cold though, because of the dampness in the air. That is probably something you get in the Netherlands as well? I love the image of skating along the canals to get to school/work. I grew up in a small village where roads were rarely, if ever, sanded. In winter you could go by kicksled along the roads. I only skated to school once, on an especially icy day. On the topic of unusual modes of transport, did you see this clip of someone going by dogsled across Madrid when they had their snow storm? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9p8eNCkuszFomg.html

It depends on the snow. If it too solid, you lose balance in someone else's tracks.

@@manuell3505 Biking when the snow has just fallen, is still fresh, is very easy. It's going to be more difficult when the snow is not fresh anymore but starts to melt, to freeze, or is getting dirty because of the other traffic. Luckily in the Netherlands the bikepaths are usually cleaned quickly and often so biking remains possible.

No! Snow and ice is fun the first day, but after that it is just annoying.

Due to the mild winters in the Netherlands, nobody has winter tires anymore.

@@Populiervogel Haha, me neither. Have never had them with my 10 years of driving. But this person just shows the wrong technique, could have reversed till being on flat surface, get some momentum and used way less throttle.

Also be careful with braking, locking up your wheels is no bueno

Don't brake with your front wheel and assess situations further ahead to avoid sudden braking action.

You guys are right. I would even go as far to say try not to use your brakes at all, just stop peddling a while before you need to stop and if you have to lose speed more quickly put both feet on the ground

@@S_t_even you go too slow to lock your wheel up

Very sensible. Just takes one wrong move on an icy patch. Yesterday I had the muddy sludge everywhere (no fenders) when I rode my racing bicycle. Today the meltwater was almost gone again. You can bike more then enough. Skip the no good places and days.

Fellow Utrechter! The snow started on Saturday, I left my car untouched until Friday. Cycling felt much safer than driving my car... slower, more control and much less damage if you make a slider.

@@TiaMat99 the car is the best option for the most people in the Netherlands,and Not the bike.bike,is for better weather from march till october

meh... you experience much deeper depths of snow for much longer ! many dutch people take a day of & say "No Go Today" ! heck ! even before the snow; trains won't ride because the autumn tree leaves falling on the rails will give the trains 'sticky wheels' that''ll 'block up' !

@@qedqubit Yeah, the snow sticks around for a long time now. Been two months now with the snow-cover. Usually, it is much longer, and comes earlier, but this winter was unusually warm, so we did not get any snow until early January. I have seen people though who have been cycling in the snow for five months straight now, because they live in small towns way up in the mountain, where cars have difficulties starting up because of the extreme cold. As far as trains goes. Leaves is not an issue here for the trains themselves, but the issue is that they can trigger the anti-collision measures. Known as ghost-trains, this fools the signaling system into falsely believing the line is blocked, when in reality trains could be allowed to drive there perfectly. Same goes for the snow. This is now being dealt with, and if everything goes according to plans, ghost-trains will no longer be an issue by 2024.

@@Gartneren1234 well i hope they share the solution cheaply (=open source software+hardware) and help european trains, and trains worldiwde, to be drive-able throughout winter everywhere :-D !

@@qedqubit well I am sure the solution is at the very least open for all companies to use. This technology is not really that unique, though they have of course made a few tweaks to it. Some of our trains have lines that goes directly through some very remote places high up in the mountain where three meters of snow is not uncommon. So it makes it even tougher for the system to keep the trains going.

@@Gartneren1234 Are you not able to go by cross-country ski's or kicksled? It's easier to stay warm when skiing/kicking than on a bike, but if all the roads are sanded the bike of course becomes the only option.

Neither is Australia😅

You do realize the difference between winters in The Netherlands and most (90% or more) of Canada? The only place in Canada that compares in terms of climate/winter climate with most of Holland and The Netherlands is the Fraser River Delta area of British Columbia. Cycling culture is fairly strong in the region especially in Canadian terms. I know a few people who commute 10-20km per day by bike. This is not possible in most of Canada due to extreme winter conditions (freezing temperatures, lots more snow, etc.) maintenance and the associated costs, and a whole lot of dedication to cycling lifestyle. Try riding your bike when it's 20c below freezing.

@@passthedutchie90 I bike to work everyday. Last week it was -32C some days. My frustration is no bike paths, dangerous intersections.

In my opinion, using brushing and salting to clear the cycle ways of snow completely might be fine in the Netherlands, but when you're expecting months upon months of snow and cold, salting only causes more ice to form as the weather gets even colder. Having good cycling infrastructure to begin with, and regular plowing, is key to safe winter cycling in colder climates. One upside to sharing cycle paths with pedestrians is that they pack down the snow by walking on it, making it much easier to ride on than snow that has been driven and/or ridden on. Greetings from Helsinki!

@@passthedutchie90 NotJustBikes made a snow cycling video featuring Oulu, Finland, which is farther north than Anchorage, Alaska. Cold climate is snow excuse!

@@nvwest A bit of both I think. It's normal to us, yes, but we also enjoy it

I dont know many people who cycle because they enjoy cycling, Its mostly just because of cost and ease. If the taxes on cars, Road taxes and fuel taxes wouldn't be so crazy high i wouldn't ride my bike at all.

I've made the trek from Diemen to West thrice last week, it wasn't /that/ bad, but Diemen was definitively easier to get through.

Den bosch was absolutely terrible. The inner city was somewhat doable, but that's stretching it. When driving onto the a59, there was black ice on the on ramp. Snow was shoved off of the roads onto bike paths, where it would turn into a lumpy ice, impossible to bike on. It was really quite surprising as the city is generally well managed.

Same in Utrecht. There was almost no sidewalks cleaned! It was all slippery, i was really disappointed.
