You don't necessarily need traffic lights and stop signs to keep traffic moving smoothly. Especially in places with low car traffic, traffic is perfectly able to regulate itself with just a few small design elements (shark's teeth, zebra crossings).

Living in Utrecht means living in a beautiful historic city, founded by the Romans 2000 years ago. Now the 4th largest city in the Netherlands, heart of the most competitive region of Europe and most cycling friendly city in the world. Need to be convinced? Just watch the video!

Commute appreciation post.

Happy holidays from Utrecht! 🚲 🎅 ☃️ 🎄 🎆

Noise pollution is harmful, unwanted, disruptive and negatively impacts people's health. And is often caused by motorised traffic 🚘 🛻 🚖 That why cities deserve rush hour traffic where the loudest sound is that of squeaking bicycle brakes 🚲

In 2025, I cycled well over 6,000 km. My bike maintenance costs were around €400 (which is exceptionally high for me). So, converted, I cycled for a little more than 6 cents per kilometer. So much for this, according to some, elitist lifestyle 😉

When temperatures reach tropical levels, Utrecht's popular swimming spots turn into large bicycle parking lots. Spontaneous, unorganized, and without bothering anyone. And the next morning, they are (almost) all gone again!

Over 60 cyclists pass on this side of the street in under 30 seconds. And their flow only stops because the traffic light turned red. An efficiency impossible to match if these people were driving.

Although the work is far from finished, the new intersection is now open. Without traffic lights, the flow of traffic on the main route has improved dramatically. I'll soon check out how it works during peak hours and what the new design means for traffic from the side streets. #workinprogress

Morning 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 and birds chirping.
