Bloody hell, did some virus kill off most of the motorists?! I don't remember it being that empty when I was in the Netherlands about 10 years ago.

Yeah, almost no cars. In heaven, everyone ride a bicycle.

At first I thought: this must be on a Sundaymorning. I lived in Zwolle (I even recognized my own neighbourhood Assendorp) for two years and I still visit Zwolle regularly because one of our office is there (you can almost see it on this video). But it is not a Sundaymorning. I think this guy or girl is biking to a school (Windesheim) and you see other students there. I wonder what time of day this video was taken.

This is not Zwolle as I know it. I think it is a bit scary this way.

Hi,

Funny, it is a college (I think this is the translation of this kind of education). Zwolle has no university. But these are just details ofcourse.
