    Getting TO/AROUND: I haven't hired myself a bicycle in Amsterdam; I used the canal boats and my feet instead. The traffic -even bicycle traffic- looked so skilled and hectic that I wouldn't have dared that time.

    In Amsterdam there are specific areas/lines painted on the streets that are meant for those with bicycles.

    Some of them - almost all of them - seem to go so fast. And one thing to remember - in this city it doesn't mean you are simple or poor if you just use your bicycle. It belongs to the city; its streets are narrow, those with bicycle are thinking people. I guess they get where they want faster than the others.

    I enjoyed just watching this "art". And I would also call it art how some people marked their bicycles...or what would you say about this one in the picture? So Dutch...
