In the spirit of featurism and lack of updates (not including the one I did yesterday!) I give you an early update :)
Today "I" am riding on the back of a rented bike! (We have special seats on the back of bikes so you can take people on the back) Almost every bike has that in holland but when I was growing up in England you'd rarely see a bike like that! So, this might be new.
I'll tell you about the dutch bike. Brace yourself…
The thing about Holland is that the vast majority of the population travels by bike! Long-distances by car/train obviously. It's a small country, everything in each city is within reasonable biking range :P
It's healthy, it uses green energy (yours), inexpensive (not including price of bike [which can be alot if your bike wasn't stolen]), and it takes up little space!
Heck, you even have your own lane on the roads :)
AND! If that's not enough to tempt you to bike to work; if you get hit by a car, it's the car's fault. No matter what!
