A frosty, but sunny Saturday in December. Errands to run, people to meet and just enjoy your city. The streets are busy as hell these days, of course, but bearable, as Amsterdammers (and visitors) cover them on foot, by tram and…well, you know what this blog is all about.

Entering & leaving Albert Cuyp Market

Good ol’ fashioned wool mints

Man in black

Ugg and Company & panniers are for flowers

Smashing blue waiting for anti-abortion demonstrators to pass

Smashing green & absolutely nothing wrong with pink

Keeping tabs on friends & keeping tabs on accessories

Wonder whether he’s a doctor & much needed shopping refreshment

Girls just wanna have fun & classy apparel

Who wouldn’t smile on a day like this…

Oh, about that ‘Cycle Chic’ thing: many people online take that term to literally. It’s not about dressing up to cycle (like you need to go on the cover of a magazine), but about not needing special gear. Dress like you always do and just hop on. It’s really that easy. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. It would be the world upside down.
