in the netherlands many people are driving bikes even more than in germany :) ! The pictures you have made are great and show great emotions, please more of this stuff.

This is wonderful, Marc! :-D

This set was so lovely, I had to link back to it! *sigh*

found you on flickr - LOVE this project. feeling like i would probably tip over if i tried holding hands while riding, but you never know :) too many cars here, i think. this is so great!

The above footage was shot in 2008. By now Snoop is the proud owner of a Dutch "Oma" bike given to him by a Dutch fan:

Thx Wilma, but i can't get to that thread, as you need to log in as a member...worth it to become a knitting fan? :)

It might just be; I get a lot of bike input from my fellow knitters! Casual cyclists are fans of Dutch style bicycles, and Two Wheeled Knitters are slightly more intense road and mountain bike fans. I belong to both groups! It's free to join, so go for it!

A really good reason to have coaster brakes, I think!

Bingo :)

Love without helmet!! How come? ;)

Good to see you're back with such a great post. Keep it up.

It's the natural thing to do :). Thx, Jorge

I really love all the pics of couples kissing/holding (hands) while biking. *sigh* I'd say romantic movie in the making.

I'd need to accumulate a lot of footage, Anneke..oh heck, maybe I'll get lucky on just one afternoon :)

In light of your charming series of photos from Amsterdam, I thought it a bit funny to be greeted with this image when I checked in on my hometown newspaper today:
