The bikes are locked outside a windmill, and Evan Edinger and Jason Slaughter are ready for a beer. Their Amsterdam cycling debrief supplies Evan Edinger Travel's most-watched new upload, with nearly 70,000 views for "Things About Amsterdam You Might Not Know About - w/ NotJustBikes".

Jason, the creator behind Not Just Bikes, explains the appeal without making cycling sound like an endurance sport: "They've really made cycling the default choice." Speed, convenience and roads designed around bicycles are the point. Evan is impressed enough to give Amsterdam an A-minus, but visiting Utrecht has raised his expectations. The closing montage heads there by bicycle, boat and kayak.

Viewers have plenty to add to the conversation. Some distinguish everyday cycling from recreational touring; others offer locking strategies or correct Evan's Dutch toast. He had already said "proost" before asking how to say cheers.

The other new upload swaps cycle paths for a music-video set. "How we made the Broken Puzzle Music Video." credits Evan with the music and lyrics, Stefan Abingdon with music production, and Luke Cutforth with directing, editing and visual effects. It drew a smaller audience than the Amsterdam outing.

Across the channel, daily views are running at more than three times their usual level, and subscribers increased over the week. Amsterdam has the strongest momentum, while the Oxford Street pedestrianisation visit and Evan's older Amsterdam-to-Utrecht ride are drawing similar daily audiences to each other. That earlier ride has now passed 400,000 views, giving the new Utrecht glimpses a well-established companion in the archive.

What viewers say

"Proost. How do you say cheers in Dutch?" Well, like that. Proost. With the long o as in "bone".

Reducing cycling in the Netherlands to either practical cycling (done by a 'fietser') or a sport (done by a 'wielrenner') feels incomplete. In between is the 'toerfietser'. This is a type of recreational cyclist. It's not about being practical or fast, but about seeing places or being in nature. A 'toerfiets' is usually a nicer and more expensive bicycle.

The biggest bike theft prevention strategy is still to just ride a clunker city bike that's not worth stealing. If you are an enthusiastic cyclist you may have a tour bike for long distances as well, but you are not necessarily going to use those for a grocery trip.

Oh Evan. If you liked Utrecht you'll love Amersfoort.
