Riding Vondelpark, Rijksmuseum, and De Pijp
Channel: Active Towns
Date: 2023-01-17

Come along for the ride as Jordan Clark, and I explore Vondelpark and the nearby neighborhoods as we make our way to De Pijp for lunch and to meet up with Jason Slaughter, with Not Just Bikes. Along the way, we experience a wide range of cycle network conditions and features, but certainly, one of the highlights was riding through the Rijksmuseum - a first for Jordan.

Next in the growing series of ride-along videos, this was shot on November 1, 2022.

Background: 
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

Since 2010,  I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them. 

Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
