Happy to hear you had a nice experience!
I'm generally not too 'patriotic', but I can't help but feel a certain pride when I see the insane amount of bikes, especially around rush hour, and especially when I see the variety of cyclists: pregnant women, the elderly, people in suits, a father/mother with a mind-boggling three kids strapped to the bike and a little kid wobbling alongside, and then of course the occasional 'weird' bikes (The tall bikes in Amsterdam are my favorites[1]).
There's plenty to criticize about our society, but I love the bikes.

- pepve 9y agoHave you seen this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xjTJUCMTZg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xjTJUCMTZg Video is in The Hague, I've seen it in Amsterdam though, a couple of times.
- mercer 9y agoThat's a great one and while I've seen a bunch of weird bikes, I've never seen that one. I love the pointlessness of it!
