travel stories :: amsterdam and bikes

February 18, 2013 filed under: personal

and where else? one of the things that immediately comes to our minds when we think of amsterdam is bikes, because honest be told it’s literally thousands of bikes. it’s such a nice habit and they have such cool bikes! lisbon starts to have the bike thing going one, but come on!? not only we are not fully prepared for bikes, we are considered the city of the seven hills, so ups and downs are not the best match with riding a bike. now on the other hand, amsterdam is perfect for it and everyone rides a bike! so this goes out for the beautiful bikes i found back in december when shooting in amsterdam!

    wow adorable bicycles!!! charming really
    it reminds of oxford in that sense, because the city is flat and with so many students, it’s really the most common transport :)

    Fotografias lindas, sempre. Limpas, simples e sublimes. Sem espalhafatos. :)
    Vivo por bandas abaixo da zona do mar e a ultima bicicleta chama-se “bakfiets”. Nos temos uma e e usada sobretudo por familias. :):) Sorry pelos nao acentos…. Keep up the good work! *

    I love the photos! Nearly a year ago, my husband and I spent some time in Amsterdam and we absolutely loved it! The amount of bicycles parked on the side of a street at any given moment is truly amazing!
