Rush hour traffic in Utrecht.
Sound on 🔊 if you want to experience that rush hour IS possible without the constant, deafening noise of cars overpowering people talking.

Three years ago, Utrecht completed the transformation of the Sint Josephlaan and turned an unattractive, unlivable car sewer into a green city boulevard.
It shows that even Dutch cities were not always like they are today and have often come a long way in becoming better versions of themselves.

After almost a year's absence, Cargoroo's yellow rental cargo bikes are back on Utrecht's streets.
Ideal for anyone who occasionally needs to transport something or someone and doesn't want to be dependent on a car.
The cargo bike fleet is expected to grow from the current 90 to 150 in 2026.

100% true!
On a bike, we're more equal as a family than in a car, where we, as parents, sit in the front seat and direct contact with our children in the back is much more superficial and functional.
Cycling together creates memories; driving together doesn't!

Active commuting with children is often cited by parents as quality time spent interacting with their child and the environment, rather than time spent isolated in separate metal boxes.

Cycling after dark is part of everyday life here, but it still raises real concerns. This week I look at what helps people feel safe on those night-time rides – from lighting to travelling together.

Cycling safely after dark
We have entered the darker months again, and that inevitably makes cycling a little more precarious. Safety after sunset has two sides: being visible to others and feeling socially safe. As cyclists we cannot lock ourselves in, as one might in a car, so the environment matters all the more. Being visible is straightforward. A working front and rear light, together with the legally required reflectors, is usually enough.

Investing in cycling to address the housing crisis? That's exactly what the Dutch government is going to do!
€2.5 billion is being invested to make housing projects accessible. A large portion of this will go towards cycling infrastructure, such as continuous cycle routes. 👌

My latest video: A 340-metre-long cycling bridge with a name to match its curves; Anaconda in Lelystad turns 20.
I went to see how this striking structure, and its smaller neighbour, have aged in the Netherlands’ youngest province.
