I found this video and thought this was the place for it. ;)

Yes, as this is the perfect forum to post an Eminem video...

LOL, thats funny........that is the wrong video!!! I was surfing on You Tube and that must have been the wrong tab that I copied and pasted. The Eminem video is good though. Ok, here is the real video that I wanted to post.

Looks like a less chaotic version of Shanghai rush hour, except with fewer scooters/e-bikes.

And nobody wears a helmet! Oh, the insanity!

OK, honest mistake -- enjoyed that pop from the kid -- just thinkin', though, that we could say, instead of being 'rickrolled', we just got 'mather-blathered'.

I don't know how any of them have survived with their lives. From all of my US news reading, cycling is an extremely dangerous thing. It's so much more dangerous than riding in a motor vehicle, that only the cyclists need to wear helmets.

I'm just surprised we haven't started wearing pedestrian helmets; everyone knows that walking is more dangerous.

That video gets posted every now and then. I see there's a "new" 2011 version now, and that that guy has a Dutch-centric cycling channel that is very interesting.

I've subscribed to it, and I'm going to send a link to that video to my town's mayor.

And I thought being the 6th or 7th bike in line in the bike lane at a light on my commute in this morning was impressive.

Yeah, by US standards you'd expect piles of dead bodies in that video.

OMG! They are not riding carbon frames! They don't have expensive flashing lights! Or real cycling jackets! They are doing it wrong! :)

I was thinking about how slow and leisurely they were riding. What were they averaging 8-10 MPH? no attempt at wearing aerodynamic clothing or get into an aero position?...might as well walk if you're going to go that slow! No wonder the Dutch rarely win the tour de france...:D
