Bikes

We were in Amsterdam in May. We knew that the Dutch like going by bike - but not to what extent...

                                                                             

Near the railwaystation there was a huge two-storeyed garage for bikes. How on earth do they find their bikes, when they want to go home? Lots of bikes were equipped with boxes of different kinds. The big long boxes were used for transporting children. I met a father with the box filled with kids, but I didn't have my camera ready! Pity. It was such a sight...
The last picture shows my husband with our bikes. (In Maisons-Lafitte outside Paris). We had helmets of course! We didn't see many helmets in Amsterdam...
