Today the Netherlands is known for its incredible bike infrastructure. But this European country wasnâ€™t always a utopia for cyclists.

For the last 6 months I've been obsessed with this question: How did the Netherlands go from having traffic-clogged cities to having some of the world's best bike infrastructure.

In this video I want to share what I learned with you and why I think there might just be hope for my car-obsessed society here in America.

Thanks to @NotJustBikes for letting me use some footage of car-free streets. If you haven't seen Jason's videos, I highly recommending checking out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes
