Amsterdam Bicycles

In Amsterdam the bikes rule.

And we the bikers are the kings and queens of the road.

.

We have our own bike lanes.

.

We have our own traffic signal.

.

We have exclusive bridges .

.

Pedestrians are only second to us.

.

.

Cars are third priority.

.

Where there is no traffic light…

.

we have the right of way… always.

.

Parking is never a problem.

.

We can park anywhere…

.

and everywhere…

.

and where ever…

.

.

and whenever.

.

as long as you can secure it..

.

with the “chain and padlock” contraption…

.

there should be no worries.

.

You can tie it to a tree.

.

Tie it to a post office mailbox.

.

Tie it to the sidewalk railing.

.

Tie it to the street sign post.

.

Tie it to a lamp post.

.

Tie it to any post.

.

But the best parking place is here.

.

It’s just outside the Central Train Station.

.

A little on the right side.

.

You’ll say, “wow! a 3-level bike park”… as you see its front.

.

But wait til you see the back view.

.

That’s right, it has 4-levels and there is nothing like it anywhere else.

.

This is the ground level…

.

across the first level.

.

The second level overlooking the canal

.

The third level overlooking the 1st and 2nd level.

.

Fourth level overlooking the the 3rd level.

.

The highest end of the 4th level

.

Only in Amsterdam.

.

Home to more than 600,000 bikes..

.

just a little less than its estimated population of 747,000 people.
