Even Small #Towns are Great Here (5 Years in the #Netherlands)We’ve lived in the Netherlands for 5 years now and we’ve been to a lot of small towns and cities in that time. The thing that surprised us the most is that there’s good urbanism pretty much everywhere.Video by @notjustbikes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztpcWUqVpIg

@stux @notjustbikes What about electric bikes? Is that popular? Cause I was thinking transforming mine into one.

@rominator @notjustbikes We do have one and it's AMAZING! :ed_grin: Not for our neighbour though, it's a little too dangerous, and i agree

@stux @notjustbikes Here in Baltimore we don’t have much infrastructure, but even if we did, the rolling hills make it a challenge for most people. We’ll need, not just a lot more bike lanes, but also extensive e-bike infrastructure to truly make it accessible for people.

@stux @notjustbikes my dad is 78. He switched to a pedal-assist e-bike when he turned 70. He can happily do 30km a day 2 or 3 times a week. He goes dancing twice a week too. He's a very 'young' 78 year old because of it 🤗🚴

@stux @notjustbikes my neighbor (80, incl some motor problems)) is very sad.He cannot bike anymore; at least not as he defines biking: 2 100 km rides a week. He had to give that up last year, now he is really struggling with only mtb and City bike rides. It is not easy to adjust and downshift for anybody, and he cannot leave for another country to fix his problem😪Btw: he had sold his car, he cannot drive safely at those speeds anymore.

@stux @notjustbikes Since riding a bike is more energy efficient than walking, anyone who can walk can bike with caveat that cycling need better balance control and fastre processing of what you se eto react to obstacles since you're going faster.

@stux @notjustbikes so did my father three months ago, then he fell off a ladder and is moving from hospital to care center since. Old age can be really hard. :mastosob:

@stux @notjustbikes Reminds me of a 96yo friend of my grandmothers. Every week she’d bike to city centre in Copenhagen (around 10 km x2) to assist on a youth helpline

@stux @notjustbikes also would point out there needs to be some regulation for keeping them safe. Nr of old ppl dying in bike accidents has risen dramatically in NL. Idk, maybe it should be required for them to wear a helmet/other protection but NL should do more to protect elderly ppl

@Moldoteck @notjustbikes That has become a bigger issue indeed..Our neighbour refuses to use an E bike exactly for that reasonA helmet would be a good idea but making it mandatory could bring a lot of unhappy people who don't want one if that's the case :blobcatgiggle: (like me)

@stux @notjustbikes ya, it's hard to take a decision. On one hand wearing a helmet is cumberstone, on another- old ppl have slower reaction and more likely to loose equilibrium. Maybe there are other options like fat tire bikes or idk, it's just sad these ppl die in such accidents
