The Old Fat Black Bicycle

Just an Amsterdam native who won't take his city and its cycling extravaganza for granted anymore, thinking these posts might be clues to others, inspiration perhaps, if you will...

I found this ultra short video on A Balanced View and I liked it too. From the maker ‘VrouwVan40′ on YouTube:

‘The Old Fat Black Bicycle’, and go to Amsterdamize Bicycle TV to watch this and every other video posted on Amsterdamize, for your viewing pleasure!

Great, not only does it remind me of the so-called ’speed vlogging’ exchanges I had with friends, this gem could also easily serve as a promotional video for Dutch bikes. Sturdy and reliable as life long friends.

    Hi Marc,

    A catchy, simple video - 30 seconds can really stick in your mind if done well!
    Why not a little Amsterdamize competition for 30 second videos about bike culture?

    Thanks, Alan, excellent plan, quite a few visitors of Amsterdamize already turned video contributors, so it’s a small step to something quirky like that.

    So you and I are up, who else? ! ? *

    * neh, will obviously dedicate a post to this

    I’m thinking about it already! Just got to find another cyclist(non-lycra) round here, then we can decide if we have a bike culture:-)

    We live on the east coast of England, just opposite Rotterdam, but about a million kilometres away in terms of bike culture.
    Maybe this is a good excuse for a short break away from the UK……

    hahaha, you crack me up. Good good, today I’ve already shot tons of footage to pick from.

    Always a good excuse and always welcome to ride along, Alan. Should be good fun.
