How the Dutch got their cycle paths

Caption notes

In the 2011 film, BicycleDutch explains how the Dutch cycling network developed. The narration starts with postwar growth in car traffic and changes to streets, then connects road safety protests, the oil crisis, and municipal experiments with continuous cycle routes. Tilburg and The Hague illustrate the roles of local planning and national funding in reshaping street space. This guide follows the original film. The creator later published a revision that changes some details and emphasis. The guide uses the original timing and omits the film’s statistics.
