I think the super safe bike infrastructure (and lack of hills or much snow in winter) is what makes it so lovely to bike here. Completely separate bike paths on most streets and drivers who are aware of cyclists make all the difference. I wish North America would figure out that helmets aren't what make biking safe as I know I'll miss all these lovely bike paths when we move back to Canada one day.

On a break in Vondelpark I watched an older gent in dapper dusky rose cords and a well-worn blazer and fedora balance concentric bandboxes towering from his rear rack *and* a cushioned guitar case on one side, pedaling all the while!

I rented a Bakfeitsen in Portland last summer, but Madsen was having a killer Black Friday deal that I couldn't pass up. I live in the Philippines right now but I'm moving back to the states this summer. The bike is sitting in my parents' garage and I can't wait to get back and try it out with my two little boys!<br />Catherine Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844270310135270987noreply@blogger.com
