Whose the asshole that double parked?
I wanted to move to the Netherlands because of their biking culture. But citizenship is difficult and I don’t speak Dutch.
Plenty of people here dont speak dutch, that is only is a problem if you also don’t speak English. Citizenship is difficult, but if you can find a job your employer will help you with the paperwork. There are some fields with high demand for labour.
From this shot it looks impossible to get a bike from somewhere in the middle, but I assume there are paths? I’d love to see a few more pictures
I cycled there real quick
Looks like they’ve since converted the car park to a temporary taxi stand and disabled parking lot as well
If you had to estimate, how many bikes?
Counted 99 bikes in one row, for a total of 10 rows and 4 partial rows.
So I’m guestimating about 1200 bikes
This is Eindhoven Centraal, in the Netherlands.
Yes there is lanes. It’s just a small lot on the south side of the station.
There is actually far more parking at this station than the image would imply.
The parking lot on the north side is quite a bit larger (it has double height racks, and also recently got expanded). There is also another small lot on the south side, and two more underground bike parking garages as well.They are also planning to rework the area around the station, the plans for which include a further expansion of the underground parking garages
What an absolutely fantastic photo to show the difference between cars and bikes.
Open street map even has the exact numbers for you. Well at least for the bikes. I roughly counted 80 car spots and considering most cars only move one person thats around a 8:1 space efficiency difference.
I’m not sure if that number is correct.
I counted the bikes at the request of @tyler@discuss.tchncs.de
My rough estimate is about 1200 bikes, so that is closer to 1:15.Idk if the entire lot has bike racks or if there is just a lot of flat ground with not infrastructure. But even if there are racks everywhere, people will always just park their bikes randomly into the smallest gap. The osm data could just be out of date ofcourse, but its probably just based on the number of bike racks/bars. Thats the only way you could reasonably map it imo.
OSM nerd here: yeah capacity is specifically the designed capacity, not how many vehicles you could physically cram in there with a crew and a mathematician.
I have been doing some streetcomplete and thats basically what ive seen so far too. Thanks for the confirmation :)
Where is this? The amount of bikes suggests NL but it looks more like Germany…
It’s at Eindhoven Central Station in the Netherlands
