Sunday being a day of doing little to nothing after a few nights of celebrating social occasions, the spring weather at some point lures you to relocate your lazy self outdoors. Accompanied by the lovely Daniela (riding Camilla, of course) I slowly cycled to The Blue Tea House in Vondelpark and we found our place in the sun on a crowded terrace.

Another strong kind of ‘culture’ in Amsterdam and quite a sweet spot, photography-wise, for a bike blogger.

I believe I can fly

Catered & cared for

Sunday Cycle Chic

Circle of life: March 7, 2009 & March 21, 2010

Another bike hugger

Oh, where to go

So much to see

Unlock and go & locking and going for a run

Looking to meetup on Treasure Island

K9×2 & snooze & engage

Wandering mind

Rush

Talking up a storm

How was your Sunday?

As a mom of 3 boys, love seeing all of the kid seats! The “bike hugger” shot is very sweet. Gotta learn how to ride like that!

I put many shots like those in a photo set called 'Bicycle Passengers'; kids, dogs, adults, etc (hit the button 'slideshow'. This set also includes series of photos showing how people hop on to sit side saddle. Enjoy :).

YAY!! I'll grab a cup of coffee and enjoy. Perfect activity for today, since it's snowing.

I almost didn't go out today because of the wind but seeing these photos makes me so glad I did. It was only to the store and back but totally worth it.

In the second photo of this set, with Daniella in fashion-sunglasses, frame-right, is that Mr. Fr8 in the foreground? I don't recall him having a cross-frame frame. Or do you run into other WorkCycles all the time in Amsterdam and this is really like no big deal? Like, when I'm walking my dog and there's another who looks like he or she came frame the same litter, and we just look at each other, shrug our shoulders, smile, and move on…

Hahaha, yes, it is Mr Fr8 in the foreground, always been a cross-frame boy. Check my About page and see that one pic and all the others in the Flickr slideshow 'My Bike, Mr Freight' to confirm :).
