Bikes, bikes, bikes! That be Amsterdam along with canals, canals, canals. Jean, Kim, and I were amazed at the number of bikes throughout the city. Biking is a major form of transportation but the city also has a small subway system, trolleys and buses--and don't forget those boats cruising down the canals. Oh, in case you may be wondering: No, no one wears a helmet. Check out mom with her kids. Also, the picture above mom is a bicycle parking garage at the train station.
The styles and configurations of bicycles was also very interesting. Some bikes were for hauling equipment, others could accommodate 3 - 4 children. The city is very flat and I imagine that helps a lot.
PS: Don't forget to double click on the collage and the pictures will enlarge.
