But I lived in a quiet area, I could imagine kids in central Amsterdam wouldn't be trusted to cycle to school at that age. Though there schools are everywhere too.
- jacquesm 5y agoI cycled Jan Haringstraat to Frederiks plein where my school was at age 10, and at 11 we had moved to North but the school stayed the same so that was the ferry every morning (from the far end of Nieuwendammerdijk). It was quite doable. One vivid memory from those days: the fire in Hotel Polen, all the ambulances and firetrucks and having to detour because of that, huge column of smoke and then later reading about it in the newspaper. Pretty heavy day. I think I had just turned 12, that was one of the last trips through the center to go to school.
