Special thing - bicycles in Amsterdam!



Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world and is a centre of bicycle culture with good provision for cyclists such as bike paths and bike racks, which are ubiquitous throughout the city. There are an estimated one million bicycles in the city. However, bike theft is common, so cyclists use large secure locks.
In the city centre, driving a car is discouraged. Parking fees are steep and a great number of streets are closed to cars or are one-way.The local government sponsors carsharing and carpooling initiatives such as Autodelen

Therefore, there ...millions of bicycles in Amsterdam, we questioned ourselves what is bigger the number of bicysles or people who ride them? Look at the pictures above.

Pity, we couldn't use one due to my late pregnancy! we decied to come back altogether three of us sometime when Timur is quiet big to understand the beauty of cycling!
