WHEN IN AMSTERDAM, PLEASE RIDE

Here is a cool article about bike riding in Amsterdam via Garance Dore.

"Because you’re constantly passing cool girls on bikes in Amsterdam. It’s that no one knows anyone who doesn’t have a bike. Everyone has a bike.

When you park your bike in the middle of the 350 other bikes all clustered together in each spot, if you knock them all over, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT. It’s the owners’ fault who poorly parked them. “Even if you make ALL of them fall, Ramona?” “Yes, Garance. As long as yours is standing tall, you can leave with your head up. No one will say a thing.”
