Ah, Amsterdam
I’ve just returned from my first visit to Amsterdam. Of course, the first thing on my to-do list was to indulge in some… pannekoeken. No really, I love pancakes. Any type of cake really. Especially when buried in a certain chocolate-hazelnut spread.
But after I checked that off my list (three times) I went to see about a bike.
Now, Amsterdam is a known bicycle city. But more than that, it is a tiny city. Every thing is small and efficient. From their apartments:
To their tiny streets. But while you’d think I’d be most impressed with all the biking, I was actually more impressed by the driving.
But it was great to ride on safe infrastructure that doesn’t make me feel like I’m running with the elephants.
Instead, I found myself alongside a completely different species: my own. 
I think I prefer biking with people more than biking with cars. It makes it as easy as walking. Now can we get more of these cycle tracks back home please?
I just got back from England and can totally relate to this! There are parking lots for bikes at the train station and bikes are just as prevalent as cars! In Cambridge it was like an infestation and I was loving it! There were more bikes than autos! I totally want to go back. It was wonderful. Plus they drink Tea!
