Переглядів 12 тис.14 годин тому
Stockholm is a wonderful city to walk, walk & walk! But nearly everything else is great too, the public space, the shopping, the transit and - wow - bicycling there is just getting more & more enjoyable. Now on nice non-winter days, about 32% of the downtown city center use the bike to get around and to work!
NYC's Congestion Pricing Crisis: Riders Agree Gov. Kathy Hochul MUST Start June 30th

Today Rider's Alliance held a rally way out in the center of Brooklyn at Broadway Junction in Bed Stuy. About 200 or so people were on hand to let know Governor Kathy Hochul that her attempts to stop NYC Congestion Pricing law on June 30th are illegal and unethical. We talked to numerous riders and volunteers (sorry to all of those that didn't make the cut) and followed the after parade to the ...

I have always tried to work in daylighting into everything I can. It just makes sense to not have cars parked all the w...

Okay. Before we dive in. Yes. Yes. These indeed these signs ARE ALL OVER Europe. I've probably seen them in this style in a dozen countries. But when you walk & bike around Stockholm, they really are ubiquitous. One reason is that pedestrians really do have the right of way in many situations. In fact, there is no law that a pedestrian can ever be ticketed for crossing the street ANYWHERE! And ...

A lot of people have watched my previous 20 minute epic on the dynamic street changes on NYC's Broadway over the past 20 years.

San Francisco Has Some of the Most Impressive Street Transit Priority in the United States
I mean there's no guarantee the funds will make infrastructure any better
The title should say look at the totalitarian destopian hellhole Stolkholm has become with congestion pricing. The freedom to travel is a human right. Sweden needs to go back to capitalism and make the roads free of charhe again. Give me liberty or give me death!
I’m from the US and was on a ship. I brought my bike and visited Bristol. It got stolen on Christmas Eve.
If you have the will it can be done!
I'm very jealous you have politicians who actually make your town better. Great stuff!
But at what cost for he existing communities , killing long established businesses on commercials streets , creating an economy of ice cream cones and dollar storecreating traffic jams, toomuch is like not enough , if they really want to do good , permit longer hours with dedicated metro car for the ,morning and night commute
The musical performances were great.
I remember when I used to feel something when I watched this video years ago. That's gone now. Thanks for the nostalgia.
I get the busway. What I don't get is why it has to be guided. Wouldn't a simple dedicated road do just the same job. I tried describing this system to a friend but I still think that he thinks it's a wind up.
although Alameda doesn’t have BART because they were the last city with KKK members on their city council……..
I guarentee you 90% of the people in those apartments drive to work or work from home. Unless you live and work on the Alameda island, you absolutely need a car to survive. Try commuting to Hayward or Richmond everyday with only a bike and tell me these bike lanes are the magic that makes it happen.
Thank you for showing my city in such a positive way. Unfortunately we have too many "bike on the sidewalk" options on the bridges. 16th street needs a car lane diet with a protected bidirectional bike lane installed - same for Smithfield St Bridge.
OMG the masks....Looking back what a terrible idea. Riding in surgical masks? Doctors on wheels😂😂😂
A joyful mass ride & conference ! Thanks for working through the night to create a great film, Clarence. Anyone who was not able to join in - Go see Ghent. Its a wonderful & friendly city.
Wow, this is a lot of empty condos. Wonder if they’re before their time because I don’t see jobs or an office park nearby
We enjoyed meeting you...well done on the video!!
We are planning to cycle through Paris on our vacations in the next days, how difficult is it to rent a bicycle in Paris?
I went to Stockholm last summer with my friend and it was amazing. It was quite affordable and the hotel was super cheap and fancy! We also used the high speed rail to airport, metro, tram, bus and scooter. Just lovely 🥰
Let me guess it was crap.
High speed rail should be reserved for interstate travel like minimum distance Miami to Atlanta.
It is not a cycle superhighway, stop calling it that. 😂 Just call it bike path. That is what the whole Euroasian continent calls it, well except for Britain, and they are really car centric.
I went to Stockholm in 2001 and thought it was great back then. Looks like they've been doing a LOT in recent years. I shall have to go back and check it out!
it's a pretty phenomenal walking city. One of the best. You feel like you never have to be too aware of cars.
It is now a military dictatorship with Chinese military style spy tolling and tracking cameras on drivers.
👎👎👎 because cannot be downloaded and watched offline.
Is it just me or is NYC missing a REAL game plan for improving lower Manhattan when the congestion pricing gets implemented? Maybe part of the problem is that improving the common space isn’t a priority and won’t direct any funds to it, instead directing all the funds to transit? American cities demonstrate time after time that doing inauthentic changes to overcome political weakness results in failure!
Well it is certainly not just you!
As for lower Manhattan Business District it should be a small vehicle zone.
I am not giving up hope on NYC this would literally transform the city. All of the car lite areas of the city including in the outerboros are so nice we can do better.
Not for the better. I would much rather deal with the car centric Robert Moses than Dear Leader Sheker. Both of these men are bad by the way.
@@mapgar1479 don’t care
Did you guys hit any other Swedish cities while you were over there? Like, say, Gothenburg (Göteborg) or Malmö?
Gersh went to Gothenburg. I went to Malmo many years ago!

Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.
Was the protest at the beginning sarcastic, or do those people actually think riding a bike is somehow bad?
It was an inside prank pulled by a group of the organizers. Astonishingly even though I figured out right away it was faux, many people thought it was real and another group had no idea how to react.
It was an amazing fake protest ! Hilarious :D
Haha I know, I nearly fell off my chair 😂
Looking at the poster, I know at first glance that it's a sarcastic protest
This is so amazing! Keep working to be more like the Netherlands and your citizens will be happier <3
This is not Dutch at all.
Thank you for the enjoyable, informative, and well-executed film!
I always enjoy nice comments. Thanks!
FYI this is socislist party propaganda. These urban planners need to leave the Roman Catholic Holyland of Europe and go back to China. You are'nt European unless you are a traditionalist Catholic that attends the Holy Trentitine Mass.
I hope that American politicians and city planners are taking heed. The Danish and the Dutch have it right!
No way. As an urban plannet myself I will use the Vancouver model. We should only focus ob road diets complete streets and highways to boulevards projects not congestion pricing and banning cars from cities. The CNU Charter states that in a contemporary metropolis all new development must atequately acvomodate automobiles and Congestion Pricing does not atequately accomodate automobiles.
I had the privilege to be one of a few North American delegates to VeloCity 2003 in Paris. Paris was able to announce that they had gone from 1% to 2% of their population that year. How far they have come! Ghent looks like another great European cycling community.
Super impressive to make this video less than 12 hours after the event wrapped!! It was like a Portland Pedalpalooza or Cyclovia ride with great infrastructure along the whole route!
this is great!
Oh, god..... I hope 🇺🇲 does not become this. 🤢
You can always move to Belgium and join their anti-bike movement! ❤
Frankly, what we see in Ghent excites me. Cycling (and walking) is positive. Ghent teems with energy and joy because it is no longer overrun by automobiles. Imagine Americans abandoning their cars for bicycles. Such a development would be healthy and splendid.
Why not Joe?
I hope it does :)

Hey, I'm unsubscribing. Not because I dislike your videos. Because I live in the Southern United States and know that I will never get to live in a walkable, livable city & seeing your videos makes me sad. Good luck everyone I hope you get to live in a nice place. I currently step over trash & homeless & almost get hit by cars everyday when I walk across the street.
Don't give up, change can happen!
As said above. Please don't give up. Even doing the smallest of advacacy like telling your friends and family the benefits of a walkable city will make people realise what their city deserves and demand change for the better.
Oh PLEASE DON'T! We will give you I hope I promise!
God Bless Dixie. We in the South love liberty and inclusivity.
@@jasonschwartz8507Where have I heared that before? Oh yeah Dictator Obama.
8:40 I'd call it Norrström and call the sluice at the other end of the Old Town "Slussen" ;) Right now there's a few very very annoying streets works going on that makes biking to work a hassle for me. One is Slussen (which isn't planned to be all that great for bikes), another is the urban redevelopment at Årstaberg (commuter rail - LRT interchange just outside the inner city, old light industrial area turning into dense residential neighbourhood), and the last being that they have to block of a vital bike infra link at the other end of the bridge you can see at 6:55 in roder to widen the shared used path from like 2.5 meters to 4.5 iirc.)
It's very cute to watch. Many of the things shown in this video have been part of dutch culture for decades. Those sensors that track cyclists across intersections can be found across the entirety of the Netherlands. Traffic flows where you physically separate cyclists from cars have been around for generations too. Introduction of parks and pedestrianized area's where streets used to be have been in effect so long that you often can't tell anymore that it wasn't always this way. It's all about hating cars, and getting people out of them. Congestion pricing however is a nice new development. It be even better if emission pricing was part of that too, to encourage electric traffic.
We here in Stockholm do look towards the Netherlands and Copenhagen for inspiration and to show the local politicians and bureaucrats how to do things right. There are standards already developed over decades of real world experience, so no we do not have to investigate and explore a thousand design options to understand how this all works: just get the Dutch manual and all will be revealed.
This is Soviet Culture. Dutch Culture is Roman Catholic. Vivo Christo Rey!
lol, the loud New York energy of the host feels so out of place in Stockolm
Meanwhile in the USA, politicians would rather die than risk losing votes from car-addicted suburbanites.
lol... I thought this was sarcasm...
And Bogotá? Where is Bogotá? That city has the largest bike lanes of whole American continent
It's a great idea to start with areas around schools and mass transit hubs and then spread out and connect from there. I like it. My kids are all grown up now, but when they were in school, there was no way I would let them ride to school by themselves.
Very nice. I will have to come up there and try them myself sometime soon. It's too bad Viva Streets won't be coming back this year, but I'll be there in 2025, baby!
Wish all cities where like that.....
This is definitely a response to Kathy Hochul's decision
