Many people swear by A View from the Cycle Path http://hembrow.blogspot.com as the work of the messiah of segregated, and therefore safe, cycle routes. Others say he has a warped view, based on living in an isolated town in northern Holland which is a suburban wasteland with no comparison to real UK style cycling.
Now there is a video battle to show what it's really like between Henbrow and http://amcambike.wordpress.com/
Yesterday David posted a video of his first ever ride around Amsterdam.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SG7_Ps6tGcThere is a brilliant bit at 0:53.
It doesn't look like the Amsterdam I know and love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11PIXoqJvcY
On the Google map of his route he shows the bits in green where the video was switched on, and in orange where he turned the video off. I asked him why he didn't show bits on Ferdinand Bolstraat with cars, bikes and trams all mixed together, he hasn't yet published my comment but has put up comments from two of his disciples instead.
Is he for real?
