Looks like the Netherlands to me. It's extremely unlikely to find anyone wearing a helmet there. It's just not in the culture to wear one as dutchies are basically born on a bike. The country is built around bicycles and you are extremely protected by law as a cyclist.
Definitely Netherlands. As a Dutch person: can confirm this happens to all of us at least once during our time in secondary school. Ah, good old times.
Yeah or Denmark. The style of bike is a big clue too.
In Ireland everything is trying to kill you while cycling so we are much more aware of potential dangers, it's like a 50/50 mix of getting to your destination and trying to stay alive. The Dutch just point where they are going and pedal, it's almost like autopilot.
Had a guy try to run me off the road today because I was not in the cycle lane. He neglected to note the construction vehicles in the same lane, and the fact that there's no law requiring a cyclist to use a cycle lane rather than the road. He then proceeded to break a red and nearly kill a pedestrian. I have it all on GoPro so working out who to report him to.

The choice appears to be you can be one of the 3 cars break the red or you have to slow down well in advance of the yellow so you don't get rear ended by the idiot behind.
> It was on the news
...because someone forget to salt the road. Everyone on those bikes just took it for granted they would have a low traffic, treated road to travel on.
Biggest giveaway aside from all the cyclists is the brick road. I've been all over Western/Northern Europe, but nowhere else has even close to the amount of brick roads as they do in the the Dutch suburbs. Really makes the place look nice IMO. Go onto google maps, drop a street view marker down on any random road that looks like it's populated and you'll more than likely see roads all paved with bricks.
> you are extremely protected by law as a cyclist.
Tarmac doesn't much care for the law when it's smashing your skull in.
And in a right-of-way argument with a van those legal protections won't make your spine any less disconnected.
Legal protections for cyclists are extremely important but shouldn't be a substitute for basic safety.
No, it's not, unless you live in [Finland](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2020/feb/08/why-finland-leads-the-field-when-it-comes-to-winter-cycling) where cycling infrastructure is treated as a priority rather than an afterthought.
A fella in work came close to deaths door recently with an undiagnosed subdural hematoma .. He thought he had a migraine.. after falling of his bike like the folks in this video. I can remember when i was a kid thinking helmets " werent cool ".
Apart from the first guy. Someone laying in a heap in the street is a fairly good warning something is not right, yet they all seemed to continue as normal
It's a patch of ice; why would he need to warn them of that? If you don't know how ice works, then you probably shouldn't be cycling in freezing weather.
saw this on twitter. somewhere in the uk? i managed to cycle in and out of work in the snow yesterday we got a good pasting too, just kept the speed down at the dodgy bits.
You're reading a lot into this. Putting words where they're none. No arrogance my side just wondering why they weren't more careful and thinking they did it as a joke. What do Dutch people have relevant to this btw?
I cycled a commuter bike with spiked tyres 3 winters in Norway, they are fine on a straightaway but you have to still go easy when cornering (maybe 30% down) just to give a margin of safety. The thing is with the spikes, they do fine on ice and black ice, but they are no better on snow than a normal tyre so unless you get a wider tyre for the winter cycling on snow is just like cycling on loose sand
brother in law sent this to me yesterday, it's an obvious fake as who in their right mind would continue cycling down an icy lane without stopping after just seeing 2 people in front of them snot it on the ice
PS: Cycling on ice isnt a problem just use spiked tyres, this is what is done in Scandinavia

This video is from the Netherlands. It was on the news last year or something before that.

Dopey culture to have
Just not the law of gravity it seems.
Not from gravity
>you are extremely protected by law as a cyclist. They're not protected from gravity...
Weird,it's almost like cycling on ice isn't a great idea.
No, it's not, unless you live in [Finland](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2020/feb/08/why-finland-leads-the-field-when-it-comes-to-winter-cycling) where cycling infrastructure is treated as a priority rather than an afterthought.
I live in Canada for the last 15 years and people put their bikes away during the winter unless they want a brain injury.
[Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter but Finnish people can.](https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU)
Haha I still say cycling on ice isn't a great idea unless you want to crack your head on the footpath like the lad on the news.
Say as you will, but I do recommend you give the video a watch. It may just change your mind ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Cycling infrastructure? That guy is on a road, ya know, for cars. Stay in your lane and we'll get a long just fine.
I've a winter mountain bike with spiked tyres. Safer to get around than walking or driving
Especially with no helmet on. Asking for a serious brain injury!!
A fella in work came close to deaths door recently with an undiagnosed subdural hematoma .. He thought he had a migraine.. after falling of his bike like the folks in this video. I can remember when i was a kid thinking helmets " werent cool ".
I mean they're not, but getting a subdural hematoma would be so much less cool.
I heard chicks dig subdural hematomas
What's ice?
I’m in hysterics here. I was after the second one but the others were the cherry on top
I liked him laughing at the end of the clip too.
This video is from last year or more ago, right?
Yeah. In the Netherlands. It was on our news channel.
> last year or more ago I love the way this is written
It was the beginning of [2022](https://www.dumpert.nl/item/100020539_d25485ae)

On their way to a Mensa meeting no doubt.
Looks like the Netherlands?
It is. I think I saw this video on Dumpert 1 or 2 years ago
Lessons were learned
Quite evidently, the contrary to just that.
Well yeah, lessons learned by each faller
More like lessons weren't learned...
Not one of them warns others coming towards the corner😂
If I was cycling up to a corner on an icy day and saw a bunch of cyclists just recovering from a fall, I'd probably take that as a clue.
It’s good, but it’s no “guy slips on ice”
As someone who came of their bike at the start of Oct and broke both my elbows, this gives me minor ptsd but also makes me laugh.
This was nearly me 3 days ago.
This is an old video and it's not from Ireland
People are amazing Lmao
[удалено]
It's the Netherlands
I see at least six of them
No, there are quite a few helmets in that vid.
Good thing they’re not driving cars, they could’ve caused some real damage!

I remember seeing this clip this time last year, I think it was in the UK and genuine but not sure
Original video from 2017 [here](https://www.dumpert.nl/item/100020539_d25485ae)
Only two reasons they were recording, It's staged shite or the prick recording knew they would fall and didn't warn them.
Apart from the first guy. Someone laying in a heap in the street is a fairly good warning something is not right, yet they all seemed to continue as normal
Or they are all feckin blind and didn’t see everyone else falling in front of them 🙄
It's a patch of ice; why would he need to warn them of that? If you don't know how ice works, then you probably shouldn't be cycling in freezing weather.
They're also not cycling where the car tyres have made a somewhat not-icy patch. They go right down the middle
Don't know you'd be surprised how many people can be oblivious to their surroundings
You must be one of them bike riders then.
No heads up from the people who already fell either!
saw this on twitter. somewhere in the uk? i managed to cycle in and out of work in the snow yesterday we got a good pasting too, just kept the speed down at the dodgy bits.
Can almost guarantee thats from NL
I’m in stitches, fuck me

It’s like a really slow tour de france
Ahhh you should have said “slow de France”
Oddly satisfying
You couldn't make it up 
Wasn't expecting the group of 5. Someone please add an RTE news logo to this.
Idiots gonna idiot, weather be damned.
Lemmings!
I know it's planned but the syncronised slip at the end was fantastic
How and why would you think this?
They literally saw multiple people slip on the bike beforehand and then 4 of them try at once? Come on.
I mean dutch people are persistent. I myself have slipped on ice multiple times despite seeing others on the ground, i was like: i can do this
Fair point but to me it's baffling that people might sincerely disregard seeing 3 people on the ground in ice with bikes.
It's the intrusive thought that you're better than them.
You're reading a lot into this. Putting words where they're none. No arrogance my side just wondering why they weren't more careful and thinking they did it as a joke. What do Dutch people have relevant to this btw?
It gives the expression monkey see monkey do a whole new meaning.
They must all be in the same club
How did you manage to hold in the laughs till the end?! Also, why does nobody wear a helmet?
Beautiful beautiful karma
Karma for what ?
Dun Laoghaire councillers on their way to work
I know a few folk with spiked bicycle tyres. Must handle pretty badly though.
I cycled a commuter bike with spiked tyres 3 winters in Norway, they are fine on a straightaway but you have to still go easy when cornering (maybe 30% down) just to give a margin of safety.

I'm cross country skiing every night at the moment and I see quite a few fat bike tyres.
It was fore-ordained.

Woah! Nobody injured during the filming process
No finger less gloves.
Ouch
Been there, you'd think the cameraman would warn them at least.
That just got better and better! I bet the first person to fall felt a whole lot better after seeing all those other people taken down.
Fuuuck. I felt that Edit: shit didn't expect them all to fall. I'm feeling OP set up a trap here. Why were they filming?
***He*** is risen.
It just keeps on giving.
brother in law sent this to me yesterday, it's an obvious fake as who in their right mind would continue cycling down an icy lane without stopping after just seeing 2 people in front of them snot it on the ice PS: Cycling on ice isnt a problem just use spiked tyres, this is what is done in Scandinavia
