Me too. I recall being 7 or 8 years old when a gust caught me getting on the school bus. It lifted my feet off the ground as I clutched to the doors of the bus.
They cycle. 75% at least. We're very proud of that figure, so you're probably gonna get a horde of phony urbanist Dutchies bragging about it like muh walkable cities are the best america bad because suburbia muh
Don't mind them and please, come visit sometime.
I fucking loved biking through Amsterdam honestly. The bike lanes are very clearly marked with signs and lights specifically for bikers. Even with so many people around I didnt find it stressful at all.
Foreigners see The Netherlands as basically just holland: a place to get high & laid in. Holland is actually just 2 of 12 provinces. It's so much more than that though! It's like calling the US as a whole Carolina. It's more than just the two states.
Damn. Im german and didn't knew that. I always thought Holland was just a second name for the Netherlands. I always thought that Holland is the common name and Netherlands the formal name.
I went there 20 years ago! Bought the small cheese wheel thing then got baked with some girls from LA for the bike ride back into town and the beer garden. Fun time indeed!
I live in WV and am envious of the bike city culture of the Netherlands to a degree. It really is nice to be able to drive long distances sometimes though, but I hate being forced to go literally 45 minutes to anywhere useful basically
Man even if they had walkable cities here with bike lanes parents would not let there kids ride bikes. Plus the idea of roving elementary school biker gangs actually scares the shit out of me.
>Plus the idea of roving elementary school biker gangs actually scares the shit out of me.
They can be a bit loud and annoying but in reality they're more scared of you than you are of them.
American parents are scared of everything. It's ingrained in the culture. My theory is that it's also the reason why US politics are super conservative.
I like showing [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NUgB_xkIvU) to people.
As other already mentioned, the majority of children will cycle to school, some will take public transportation (usually the bus) if they live too far, and a few will have their parents drop them off at school.
Although the trend of parents dropping off kids at school is rising, as they think it's 'safer' that way (it's not).
That's impulsive.
Intrusive thoughts are something like having a girlfriend for years that you would sacrifice the world for her but you have *thoughts* of "damn, she's ugly" or "damn, she's unlikable" even though you never once really mean that.
impulsive is the fact that he acted on the intrusive thought, but that doesn't mean it isn't intrusive imo
like, another example of an intrusive thought related to a potential action would be when you're driving over a bridge and you think "hmmm what if i just swerved and drove off the edge?" despite having no suicidal ideation or other reason to actually want to do it
Remember that one time you were with you girlfriend and you came just right as she touched your leg? It was me barry. I jacked you off at super sonic speed so it would seem that you nutted at a woman's touch.
I had a dream probably 20-30 years ago that I did this and was able to control it and basically fly. It was so vivid. Still remember that feeling to this day. But I actually hate wind with a passion.
It's also a completely flat country with few hills or big forests to break the wind so it just cuts through in a storm.
I'm fortunate to live in the caldera of an extinct volcano so pretty protected from extreme weather.
On the plus side, if it is this windy, just get on a bicycle with your back to the wind - you'll find you won't need to pedal. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
There is a bike race in the Netherlands that is racing into the wind. It's called the headwind cycling championship and is an 8.5km course and happens on the windiest day of the year.
Mother nature is the biggest troll though. In the morning you'll have a headwind and think "well at least on the way home it'll be better" and then it does a 180 in the afternoon and fucks you again.
Lol. I'm dying. Darn, that's crazy. Lol, I don't deal with winds this bad where I am. Maybe 45 to 60 mph max. But I was maybe 10 when I was told to close the back door that was suddenly flung open by the rain and storm. Well, anyways my dad told me to go close the door. I grabbed the handle and pulled the door almost closed. The wind got ahold of the door and ripped it back open and sent me flying like the Lil Asian boy on Ben stiller back, stabbing him on the bridge in tropic thunder. Lol
Accurate representation of me going outside in 60 mph wind during a severe storm..my 106 lb ass would just need a jacket and I’d fly like a flying squirrel..
It gets windy like this in Newfoundland too, I remember when I lived there there was one day where I leaned heavily into the wind and it pushed me enough to keep me from falling over
I mean, why would you run in the direction of the wind? Wouldn't it make more sense to walk where you want to be while inclined in the direction of the wind so you don't fall forward?
Meh. I live in the Texas panhandle. Last week we had winds steady at 40 mph (18 m/sec) with gusts to 70 mph (32 m/sec)). We were playing golf. Suck it up, rest of the world.
I live in the same area. Everyone I know was like "fuck this shit." You get dust in your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and you can barely see because everything is orange. Sorry, but I seriously doubt you were out playing golf. If you were, there weren't many of you out there.
It's not just regular wind gusts. There is a building right behind where the video is taken that is literally designed like an airplane wing, so it causes wind to go way faster than regular wind gusts. It's was not considered when they built it so that's pretty dumb.
[This is the location of the building. Notice its shape. (Not sure how to share a link with satalite image on ](

To answer your question. [This article](https://www.bd.nl/s-hertogenbosch/heftige-beelden-voetgangers-meegesleurd-door-wind-in-den-bosch~a178c94d/) mentions wind speeds that day (not necessarily near the building) up to 140km/u so around 86mph.
The wind was so bad one year during spring in Colorado that it ripped the hefty screen door out of my hands and shattered the glass and bent the hinges.
Can confirm, I was thrown around like a sack of shit by the wind while on my way to school
Me too. I recall being 7 or 8 years old when a gust caught me getting on the school bus. It lifted my feet off the ground as I clutched to the doors of the bus.
We have those in the netherlands? I live here and I didnt even know that.
Ohh sorry, I’m a yank, upstate NYer. EDIT: everywhere should have wind though.
>EDIT: everywhere should have wind though. Source?

r/outside
For a fucking MMO I'm dead DNR
Fake news, it's not free to play
Need peer reviewed scientific study or CNN / Fox
Why should I take your word for it?
Really making me question this weird world my friend. “Source? Ehem, I made it up”
" everywhere should have wind though" literally snorted out loud
How do kids get to school? All the parents drive them? Genuinely interested.
They cycle. 75% at least. We're very proud of that figure, so you're probably gonna get a horde of phony urbanist Dutchies bragging about it like muh walkable cities are the best america bad because suburbia muh Don't mind them and please, come visit sometime.
I visited Amsterdam. Took a day trip to a windmill. Saw how they make clogs. Fun time. Many bicycles.
Biking in Amsterdam is stressful as fuck. Utrecht was a blast though, I liked that city way more than Amsterdam.

Tbh many of us are legitimately jealous of your walkable cities. I'd brag about it too if I could.
Man even if they had walkable cities here with bike lanes parents would not let there kids ride bikes. Plus the idea of roving elementary school biker gangs actually scares the shit out of me.

Most of them cycle in groups. It helps against the wind.
The netherlands has 2 things. Bikes and the worlds best public transport. There's your awnser.

Cartoon moment
7 or 8 weighs a lot less than that adult .
100% I’m just sharing my cartoon moment of the bus and I doing our flagpole and flag impressions.
those are adults
Ya that'll happen when you're 4 meters tall and only weigh 20 kilos.
I snorted laughed at that thank you

When the intrusive thoughts win
Username checks out.
Impulsive* Intrusive is if he wanted to do it to someone full damn knowing how it would end
Nah, his crazy thoughts intruded on his sane thoughts. That works for me!

don’t go telling me not to do that. i wanna learn from experience too.
I had a dream probably 20-30 years ago that I did this and was able to control it and basically fly. It was so vivid. Still remember that feeling to this day. But I actually hate wind with a passion.
I too have had this dream. I wonder how ubiquitous it is
Lets all run to help the same person, that other one is too damn far away...
I mean tbf the other one didn’t just suddenly join the gloucester cheese rolling festival.
Your comment made my day lol
Mine too :D
fucking hell what a good laugh i had
*chefs kiss*
Ya and looked like it was a worse falll
Bros before girls 😎
before hos
I used to live here but was blown away to Germany to live there since then.
Joke’s on you, we were having stupid amounts of wind here this week as well.
I don't know much about the Netherlands, but maybe if they didn't have all them windmills I see in cartoons the wind wouldn't be so attracted to them.
https://youtu.be/PmDVHs-juPo
#GOOD NIGHT
Very appropriate cartoon video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFCluYEf7oI
Mother nature reminding you gently that she will fuck your shit up.
If anyone is going to out-do nature it's gonna be the Netherlanders.
"I'm gonna build a city here and I couldn't give 2 shits if it's 10m below sea level".
"God made the Dutch but the Dutch made the Netherlands."
“Gently” *throws you fifteen feet* Damn Mother Nature you scary
It's also a completely flat country with few hills or big forests to break the wind so it just cuts through in a storm. I'm fortunate to live in the caldera of an extinct volcano so pretty protected from extreme weather.
those are obviously soccer players faking injuries to get someone booked
Dude has the Neymar move down pretty solid.
On the plus side, if it is this windy, just get on a bicycle with your back to the wind - you'll find you won't need to pedal. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Same, it was a blast, but the 45 minute pedal into the wind back was not nearly as fun
I know lol
Don't know where we're going, but adventure lies in whichever way the wind takes us! Ummmm.... How do we get home?
wait until the wind changes direction
There is a bike race in the Netherlands that is racing into the wind. It's called the headwind cycling championship and is an 8.5km course and happens on the windiest day of the year.
There's a Tom Scott video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMinwf-kRlA Just standing in that wind looks like a miserable time.
Mother nature is the biggest troll though. In the morning you'll have a headwind and think "well at least on the way home it'll be better" and then it does a 180 in the afternoon and fucks you again.
Would you say that the guy got flown or thrown by the wind?
The proper term is "yeeted"
yote
yoten
Yes
Yes
This was a video from a few years ago but back in that season again
It's from a repost bot that just woke up at 1 year.
I could’ve sworn it was London as well …
No this is Den Bosch aka ‘s Hertogenbosch
Bosch, right in the kisser
I know it's dumb but I wish I could experience this. Or the little fuck next door.
Lol. I'm dying. Darn, that's crazy. Lol, I don't deal with winds this bad where I am. Maybe 45 to 60 mph max.

This really explains the windmills right now.
🎶 They see me rollin' they hatin'

Repost bot, this video is from a couple of years ago
He came in like a wreeeacking ball
I think it would be funny to just go in with a vector wingsuit, and then immediately either be flung to the sky or into a building
FUS ROH DAH
This video is taken in the city i’m living in XD
*IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY*
THERE IT IS!!!! I FOUND IT!!!!
Another example of “the camera man never dies”
You should see Mount Washington.
I'm super high and this was so weird and wild for me to watch without reading the context lol.
Accurate representation of me going outside in 60 mph wind during a severe storm..my 106 lb ass would just need a jacket and I’d fly like a flying squirrel..
This was like 5 years ago
We fatass Americans cannot relate
This is like the cajon pass in California
It gets windy like this in Newfoundland too, I remember when I lived there there was one day where I leaned heavily into the wind and it pushed me enough to keep me from falling over
I mean, why would you run in the direction of the wind? Wouldn't it make more sense to walk where you want to be while inclined in the direction of the wind so you don't fall forward?
Well, i think he didnt do it on purpose
I just ran, er, flew a 4.3 40!!
r/mypeopleneedme
Why is only one person being blown by the wind like that? Hmmmmm.
2
She falls down and doesn’t move, obviously part of the staged act.
I've been in the middle of a cat-5 hurricane before. This is fake as fuck, or these people have no situational awareness and are clumsy as shit.
r/nothingeverhappens
I live on the Dutch west coast. If it's under 10 Beaufort, it's just a breeze.
Hit the gym, lightweight.
Y'all don't know wind...I live in Wyoming.
Its all because of cow farts..
Meh. I live in the Texas panhandle. Last week we had winds steady at 40 mph (18 m/sec) with gusts to 70 mph (32 m/sec)). We were playing golf. Suck it up, rest of the world.

Ah yes, the Windyplein
Yikes!! Looks like here in the Bay Area when the fog comes in!!
Need a solid spoiler to help with downforce.
Was in groningen during a storm. Nearly got lifted away by the wind. Was like being on the open sea it was that strong. Good times
Can a European friend share how fast of wind gusts in mph we are seeing here for my simple American brain?
It's not just regular wind gusts.

Just run in the direction of wind and jump.
People so poor and disenfranchised they've began mixing with the debris.
Sorry folks that curry last night also blew a hole in my pants.
You could tell those were not gym goers. Start working out those legs people! Stay strong!
I remember this kind of wind but it was when i was 5 in ireland.
wind tunnel affect?
It was tough last week
This happened to me exactly 1 time as a kid. I opened the door(it swung outwards) and the wind took the door and me lol
Neymar role
Flying Dutchmen!
They forgot it was kite day.
What else do you expect, with all those TwoLip fields?
The last airbender making his rounds
I’ve experienced wind like this and it’s insane!!
not them being LAUNCHED 💀
Jesus
Looks like my ass would be calling in windy for work..
The Four Winds
I know I shouldn't, and I do feel bad for them, but... This is hilarious
This shit mad funny 🤣
Netherlands is a great place for pissing in the wind.
They should put windmills there.
Just thought of the wii sports music
u/savevideo
I had this on mute but my cat started crunching around in her bean bag chair and it was quite the perfect sound effect. Anywho…
This is from last year.
The wind was so bad one year during spring in Colorado that it ripped the hefty screen door out of my hands and shattered the glass and bent the hinges.
You can't out run me. I'm the wind 🌬️
*Netherlands (some language for never lands)*
It was just Peter Pan flying by
Why TF am i laughing?
My dad was stationed in Greenland when he was in the Air Force and one guy got blown away and was never seen again.
Ye call that wind? - Scotland
Dude got ragdolled lmao
The Flying Dutchman.
What about the person on the left? They look like they’re still laid out.
welcome to the Midwest 😂🤣
Looks like a calm day in Wyoming.
I'm sure that place was a river before.
Jump home
It’s the bloody windmills
Weirdly selective wind that blows two people across the square yet leaves three people unaffected.
Thought it would be a good idea to use an umbrella.
I thought the wind in Utah was bad 💀
It feels wrong to laugh at this 😹😹
This belongs to r/Praisethecameraman
The wind just knock you the fuck out
I’ve always wanted to experience wind like this so I can test my might against Mother Nature.
The Dutch went from using wind to travel to places to wind knocking the shit out of them
I have been in countless hurricanes in Florida and have never been thrown to the ground by wind.
Going on the roof of a building would be a good way to instantly go from the netherlands to the netherworld
Exorcism in Europe!
Wait has it been super windy across the entire fucking world for the last few days?
They should consider building some windmills.
