I wouldn't fly on those planes.

  You need some Dutch courage :-)

    In Delft a student offered to take me on the back of his bike, sitting on the newspaper carrier. I expressed strong skepticism and he said, "Trust me, I'm Dutch." Within 50 yards of starting our journey, I had been unceremoniously spilled onto the pavement, bleeding from my elbow.

      I live in the Netherlands. I've sat on the back of bikes more than a hundred times and I can't remember a single time that I've fallen to point where I'm bleeding.

        Ah, but how many times has someone told you "trust me, I'm Dutch"? That should have been the only warning I needed :) Also, I assume that there is some skill to being a good backseat rider, and while I was not wiggling around, I was not actively helping steer either.
