Amsterdam: Bicycles
built 643 days ago
The city has a split personality – stately capital rich with culture and full-blown party town – but Amsterdam pulls it off. Despite the often-gloomy weather, the city can please just about everyone with its artsy nature, rich history, and romantic canals (the city claims more than Venice) or its velvet-roped clubs, sanctioned prostitution, and drug acceptance. And talk about tolerant – the Dutch are even happy to speak English with you. It may only take a day or two before you decide to hop on a bicycle and take up their lifestyle.

Below is a picture of three Amsterdam natives on a bicycle built for one. So relaxed, the girl on the back isn't holding anything with her hands, and rests her feet naturally in a bag meant to carry groceries, I think she has spent her life growing up in this position - on a bicycle in Amsterdam.

Since the city has more than one million bicycles, traveling by foot can be hazardous in Amsterdam. Step unknowingly into a bike lane--and there're so many of them it's not hard to--and expect to incur the wrath of dozens of oncoming cyclists. So rather than spend your visit fearing a painful collision, why not adopt a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach and hop in the saddle with Mike's Bike Tour.
