Amsterdam and bicycles


Amsterdam was a little overwhelming at first, since we arrived at the central train station in downtown at rush hour - note rush hour includes as many if not more people on bikes than cars. The number of bikes and the way people ride them there is just hard to describe. Not only are the bike lanes excellent, there are stop lights for bikes, people carry their groceries, dogs, babies, 2 or 3 friends along with them and the bikes themselves are so nice (at least the ones we rented were).

Bike parking lot outside central station - does it NO justice, could not capture all the thousands? of bikes there in one picture
Our fancy rentals - so much fun.

Renee, I don't think I'm in Texas anymore..
