We were in Amsterdam and a few other European cities last year.

Bikes are more common there than in the US, but the number of them in Amsterdam was astounding. Hundred and hundreds of them, stuffed and jammed into bike racks everywhere.

And they get upset if you get in their way. If you hear a bike bell jingling, look around and get the hell out of the way.

I was in Amsterdam in September. Didn’t like it at all. The people seemed kind of short and rude with us. We had just came from Scotland where everyone was super friendly so it was quite a contrast.
