We are lucky enough to be living in Amsterdam on a work assignment. This is mostly rambling thoughts about our adventures and life here.

When in Amsterdam... Fietsen




It was immediately apparent the first purchase we needed to make was bicycles for the boys.  Luke and I both have bikes coming on the slow boat.  Both Seattle and Portland are much more difficult areas to bike: lots of hills and traffic, but Amsterdam is completely flat and EVERYONE bikes. Bikes here have the right of way over all vehicles and even pedestrians! We've spent some time this week practising in Vondelpark and the boys go almost everyday.
They are getting more and more comfortable on the city streets and there are bike lanes everywhere.

    Jealous. Seriously. That is the way we should all do it. What a cool city. When you are 12 and have your own wheels, there is serious freedom ahead too.
