Bicycles, bicycles...



As I mentioned in my post of a few days ago, there are a lot of bicycles in Amsterdam. But I must admit it is becoming a bit of a problem, this is at the university and I think almost every student has a bike. It seems the whole inner city is covered with bicycles nowadays. Below is the Vijzelstreet.

  2. I would forget where I parked mine and spend hours looking for it. Just think how much pollution this is preventing.

  3. i miss that. a lot....!!
    we went biking the other day here, finally. but on the road it was a little dangerous and the walk path was so terrible it was almost impossible to bike. on the way back it started to get dark a little so i was too afraid to bike on the "state highway". but ofcourse that resulted in a flat tire... :( and we did not yet find a "bandenplakset" here!! :)

  4. So many bicycles! I work on a university campus and we have quite a few of them, but not this many.

  5. CaT,
    That is terrible to get a flat tire there. It is difficult to bike in the US, or even walk. We were in Flagstaff once and couldn't walk to the city, we had to walk along the road with all the cars passing very fast, almost over your feet. I wouldn't dare to bike there.

  6. How wonderful that your cities and country in general are set up for bicycles... for health, for polution, for traffic congestion! I wish that we in the US were more welcoming of bicycles for primary transportation. I found a bright blue one in there that would suit me just fine!
