10/04/2008: "Saturday Morning Traffic in Amsterdam"
What's it like when cars don't dominate the streets? This charming little video montage shows Saturday morning traffic in one of the wealthier cities in the West, with very few cars in sight--just lots and lots of bicycles, being ridden by lots and lots of people, many of them carrying lots and lots of stuff.No race gear, no helmets, no jaw-clenching athleticism, just relaxed and efficient mobility in a very busy yet never frantic city, supplemented by trams and a very few private motor vehicles--which seem noisy, clumsy, and intrusive in this context.
