In the Netherlands, you don't arrive by bike at the train station. Instead, you arrive by train at the bike station!

🚆 50% of train travellers arrive by bike.
🚲 33.000 bike parking spots around Utrecht CS.
💰 30 million Euro investment.

@Brodie_Mai @eurosport OK… Create a new Apple ID with a different email address in your Euro country. Log out of Apple on your iPhone and login with new Apple ID. Download the app. Logout then login again with your old/usual Apple ID. It takes some time but works for me in Netherlands. 😉

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@Cyrus_Monk No. All good with my many subscriptions. Just need to get the Euro app onto your phone then go back to your usual Apple ID. 👍

Amsterdam is preparing for the big bang : 30 kilometers per hour.
… From next Friday, a maximum speed of 30 km/h will apply in Amsterdam. The goal: fewer serious traffic accidents.

Dutch election summary you never knew you needed, from the cycle path… where else? 🇳🇱

@modacitylife I spoke with a few Dutch people and 8 years old seems to be the consensus when children can cycle locally. At 8 years the average UK child isn't let out of their garden alone.

Ilan Van Wilder: "It's difficult weeks for us so this victory is for my teammates and our staff to show we don't agree with this shit and we want to continue with Soudal-Quickstep. We are strong enough." 🔥 EPIC ILAN!

“0.5% of Dutch cyclists wear helmets, and that’s really just sport cyclists.

They’ve ultimately decided that it’s far more important to build this culture of everyday cycling, and to build safe streets, instead of requiring people to protect themselves.”

@CalebEwan @BenjiNaesen …but maybe @CalebEwan was a fraction late with his bike throw and got himself in front just after the actual finish line (at the moment this photo was taken.) 😉

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@CalebEwan @BenjiNaesen ...no doubt here. Caleb, on the left, is the winner!

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@croasdale01 @AndyElche @CalebEwan …but a chance that Caleb was just a fraction late with his bike throw and, with the throw, got himself in front just after the finish line 😉

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@croasdale01 @AndyElche @CalebEwan Ian, you might consider that the rider on the right, who came off Caleb’s wheel, was travelling faster across the line. If his wheel didn’t roll across the line first then it couldn’t have intersected the plane above the line first as this is prior to rolling over the line 🤔

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@maxx__a @GrootLem @CalebEwan …the photo is after the line and Caleb is still in front. Gerben came off Caleb’s wheel so was travelling faster over the line. Caleb wins 🤷‍♂️

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@CalebEwan @BenjiNaesen I understand that the finish is not when wheel rolls over the line but when front of wheels crosses the vertical plane above the line (actual finish is just prior to this but Caleb is still in front!) Gerben came off Caleb’s wheel hence was travelling faster over the line.

@chrismiller27 @outsidemagazine @cyclingtips @jessecoyle1 I don't think that you need to go there... you should chat with Jesse about why the response to @EscapeCycling has been so incredibly positive, why they are already well past halfway to their target subscription numbers and why this is the future of quality cycling journalism 👍

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@derailleurkate @CaleyFretz @wadewallace I am 100% with you... It seems like response in the first 24 hours has been overwhelmingly positive... I hope that this is reflected in number of members who have signed up 👏💪👊

[Andy Matthews @matthews24]

@wadewallace 100% in... Best thing to happen in cycling journalism in 10 years... Awesome team... Good luck 🍀💪
