In the city there are hundreds of bridges and they go up on a platform so boats can pass under. The canals are working venues for the movement of traffic and goods. This keeps you off the bike trails, but look behind you, there may be one coming now. |

When I was in Amsterdam I rented a bicycle and had a great time cycling all around. (This summer I went to Copenhagen and did the same.) | deecat Sun Jul 19, 2009 21:46 UTC
