Yes it's true. In the Netherlands you can ride from City to City and rarely share the same road or path as the Cars. From where I live I can ride all the way to Zutphen, a distance of 41 Km, and only share pavement with the cars for about 12 Km of the trip. Where the speed limit is 80 Km/hour there is always a bicycle trail or an alternate route and where the speed limit is 60 km/h or less you might have to share the road with Cars, but not always.

Edit: Bicycle handle bars are not a good place for Cameras, too much vibration. If you attach the camera to a hat or helmet, your neck acts as a shock absorber, and the camera will film whatever you are looking at instead of following the front wheel. Just a thought.
