Just a sample of how Amsterdamers use their bike. Sometimes the whole family was on one bike. Many times we saw people riding on the back, and they also have bikes with big boxes on the front to hold up to 3 kids. And nobody wears helmets! You don't see younger children riding their bikes out on the busy streets. The youngest we saw were teens.
Self-portrait on one of the canals. Herengracht I think.
Beautiful houses along the Herengracht canal. Most of these houses were built in the 16-1700s.
