Peak Dutch cycling infrastructure:
A beautiful Fietsstraat, with greenery, benches, terraces and bike parking spaces, turns into a dedicated cycle path shaded by trees in a schoolzone, to turn into a Fietsstraat again after the schoolzone.
📍 Amsterdam, Weesperzijde.

After discovering @bicycledutch.bsky.social, a Tsinghua University professor advocated for the fietsstraat: where cyclists are the main users and cars are guests.
Today, that idea has spread across Beijing: Hundreds of kilometres of bike-priority streets now form the backbone of the city’s network.

The flowering trees just started blooming this week in Utrecht. So delightful. These trees are planted along a residential fietsstraat (where cars are guests) just north of the city center.
Zo mooi. Deze bomen staan geplant langs een fietsstraat ten noorden van het centrum van Utrecht.

Two hours in Vienna. One train stopover.
Instead of sitting on the platform, we borrowed shared bikes and pedalled the length of Argentinierstraße: Vienna’s first Dutch-style fietsstraat; where cars are guests and bikes set the pace.
Sometimes you don't need a whole day to discover a city by bike.

Amazingly, our Vancouver visit has coincided with the construction of Canada’s very first Dutch-inspired fietsstraat (“bicycle street”).
Burnaby’s Frances-Union Bikeway is currently getting an all ages and abilities upgrade that treats cyclists as the main users of the corridor, and cars as guests.

A minute of calm, restful biking for you.
A minute of biking on an Utrecht fietsstraat (bike-street). People who bike have priority, and people who park and drive cars are guests.
Een minuutje rustig en ontspannen fietsen voor jou. Een minuutje fietsen op een Utrechtse fietsstraat. Mooie wolken!

Voorstraat in Utrecht: a true fietsstraat where bikes come first and cars are guests. It’s not just safer and more relaxed to cycle - the whole street benefits. Outdoor cafés, quieter homes, and a vibrant public space. When you design for people, cities flourish.

A fietsstraat in Amsterdam. A through route for people cycling and trams but access only for parking / deliveries for motor traffic. Build it and they ride.

Merelstraat is one of my favorite fietsstraat in Utrecht.

Ceci n'est pas une piste cyclable. C'est le résultat d'un plan de circulation, qui permet de continuer à faire circuler des véhicules, de façon "invitée", tout en drainant un trafic cycliste important. #vélorue #Fietsstraat #Amsterdam

The next time someone tells you adding good bike infrastructure will disadvantage disabled people, show them this short clip of an Utrecht bike street (fietsstraat).
Controlling cars makes access better for everyone, and opens public space to more of the public.

Converting Dean and Bergen into bike boulevards has been my dream since I got into advocacy and experienced my first Dutch fietsstraat. The devil is in the details, of course, but I hope @nycdot.bsky.social really goes for it and makes these as good as they possibly can be.
BREAKING: Bike Boulevards Coming To Key Brooklyn Commute Strips - Streetsblog New York City
The Mamdani administration will transform two crucial east-west roadways in Brooklyn to bike boulevards, the administration announced on Wednesday.

Three minutes of a fietsstraat in Amsterdam at rush hour in winter, where through motor traffic is restricted to ensure cycling has priority. Until a few years ago this was a very busy road.

Connecting The Hague's historic centre with the rapidly developing Binckhorst district, Pletterijkade has long been an afterthought in their cycling network: a narrow canal-side street dominated by through traffic, cluttered with parked cars—functioning more as a rat-run than inviting public space.🧵

Ik heb daarnet toch zeker 10 andere autobestuurders boos gemaakt door in de fietsstraat effectief achter de fietsers te blijven rijden.
