      Thijs Niks Retweeted Not Just Bikes  🇳🇱

      This fantastic video about cycling in Amsterdam vs Copenhagen perfectly matches my personal experience in both cities and I buy into the achievability hypothesis to explain Copenhagen’s popularityhttps://twitter.com/notjustbikes/status/1242014220297949188 …

      Not Just Bikes  🇳🇱 @notjustbikes
      Copenhagen is a great city - one of the world's best. But it's fascinating to go there directly from Amsterdam, and see the differences. Our latest YouTube video explores how Copenhagen and Amsterdam differ and why North American planners love Copenhagen. https://youtu.be/HjzzV2Akyds  pic.twitter.com/5z5E8Vut03

      Dutch roads provide clarity of purpose whereas British roads often send dangerous mixed messages https://robertweetman.wordpress.com/2018/11/13/design-details-1/ …

          “What nobody told me about urban design in the Netherlands” - No chaos - It’s beautiful - Continuous footways - The place is incredibly social - Residential roads are residential - Local shops in local town centres - Even country roads are filtered https://robertweetman.wordpress.com/2017/10/12/what-nobody-told-me-1/ …

          “My personal favourite: Little bike drawings are put on the road. To indicate… the existence of bikes? Come on, London — you can’t just draw a bike somewhere and expect people to seriously call that a bike lane. It takes more effort than that!” https://ssj3gohan.tweakblogs.net/blog/11985/city-cycling-in-london-is-a-joke …
