Bicycling in Amsterdam

[aliciverici]

Can you tape it in winter as well please? especially when it is rainy icy snowy or below zero temp. so we can see the other side of the coin

There are mashines clearing the bicycle ways and streets, several times a day. They also spread salt on them for the grip. I ride my bike all year through. There are however some days, where its really icy. Then it takes me way more time to get to work, but that would be the same with a car.

Actually, with a car you can get stuck in bad traffic jams on such days. With a bike, you can just step off it and walk critical parts, or even take it on the "tram".

@aliciverici There really isn't much of on other side of the coin... people will get on their bikes, also when the road is covered with snow or icy from snow that got flattened by car tires...

If you go to Amsterdam, YOU ARE A FOOL not to bring your own bicycle.  If you wanna rent one of those heavy-ass bikes just to get on the road, go for it. I ALWAYS bring my super-power, hybrdized, composite metal, dual-suspension bicycle. My bicycle is a prostetic extention of my body :-)

[saltwatersun]

Sounds more like it is an extention of your EGO... :-)

[Harregarre]

Totally agree with romeo9k. You can always spot a tourist by looking at the incompetent way they handle their bikes around those lanes. :P

[snowbiker111]

@Harregarre well in the tourists defence... your bike traffic is unlike anything we have ever seen! you are fortunate to live in the most beautiful and unique city I have ever seen, I cant wait to return there.

[romeo9k]

Everybody who visits AMsttradam should rent or steal a bike. You don't really experience the city until you do it. Ride a bike that is. -- Hack music choice, yet oddly appropriate. -- Oh yeah, and ride in the freakin bike lanes. That's why the people on the scooter are staring. Tourists who go outside the lines piss off the Dutch.

funny....very funny. People read that and take it seriously and blame Pot.

thanks dickhead!

Hope you get hit while stoned ya dumb ass!!!

(you are NOT funny, punk)

[SkeksisRule]

Have a sense of humor you dull prick.

I did go there, but I never rented a bike since it was so confusing and fast paced.

I use drugs responsibly, in a coffee shop or in the safety of my hotel... but thanks for wishing me luck anyhow. Too bad they recently banned shrooms though, I made it just before the ban ;)

[tuberstank]

I do, but the tight-ass politicians and lawmakers that would love to see pot gone from the earth.

Sorry for being so harsh - not cool.

Ive been blazzing for 20 years or so and just want to smoke in peace and dont want to give anyone ammo against smokers.

peace

with a big wide angle camera view and stabilisator you should get a darn good video.

[inspectorcasino]

[HaroldV81]

[Depotmaster]

[hisworhipfullness]
