This is not rush hour in Utrecht. Its just regular traffic. Rush hour can get pretty crazy.

Notice that none of them are fatties.

I'm not amazed at the lack of helmet wearing. What I am amazed by is the number of ladies sporting high heels. Biking in heels, now that's what you call dedication to fashion.

“Seriously? wow, that would really suck if everyone in the world had to ride a bike…especially for NFL teams, NBA teams, all athletic teams really, traveling salesman, school bus drivers, kids, old people, handicapped folk, people with inner ear/balance problems and on and on……..” —————————————————————— Surely they'd travel by bus or car like other people in the video?

A lot of people think it is odd that no-one wears a helmet; consider how weird it is to have never worn a helmet, go to California, and are obliged to wear a helmet because you're not 18. Especially considering that anyone may drive a car at 16, which sounds a lot more dangerous than cycling to me.

There needs to be a JEALOUS option to click for videos like this.

oh yeah, they're sooooo earth conscious and cool. http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/

Cyclists who actually stop when the light is red??

IS THIS REAL LIFE!? Ahhhh, I want this everywhere so badly.

I live in Utrecht and hipsters riding fixies have started to pop up, not that many so far though.
People here seem quite relaxed about bike safety, it's not uncommon to see old people speeding around town with grandchildren standing on their racks, never wearing helmets of course.

This is impressive. Notice how most of the cars you see are buses, rather than private vehicles. Very cool.

do they have licence plate on their bicycles?

I also found it odd that no one wears helmets. You'd imagine there would be some collisions once in a while.

And not helmet to be seen.
