My hiatus is over, the new year is already 7 days old, time to move. What I’ve been up to you, you ask? Oh, you know, the usual. Kicking back in my peculiar way, seeing relatives for xmas, spending quality time with Lauren and celebrating that big ol’ street party with friends and some more unwinding. A few excerpts of all those things related:

Lauren stepping up after stepping down from the plane

Post-Xmas city cycling

Street/bike view from Cafe 't Smalle in the Jordaan

Traffic heating up on Dam Square at 20 minutes to 12

A few minutes into the new year on Nieuwmarkt

Blurry canal tour boat view on some bridge bike parking

Colder, but the same

Colder, but the same

Colder, but the same

Waving their goodbyes

Air trail

Two fathers, three sons

King of the world

Take your banana time

And of course there's only one way to get there

Transport modes crossing paths at winter dusk, Leidsestraat

And just when you think it's all winding down…

Here’s to nothing but the best (cycling) for you and your loved ones in 2010.

I went around town for some serious Christmas shopping, but not without stopping and getting off Mr Freight to click away at a few familiar cycle scenes.

T minus 10 seconds

Had je me maar – If only you had me

Give your cycle life some color

My crate was full, time to go home

This leaves me with one more thing…

Starting Amsterdamize in the summer of 2008 was great, 2009 proved to be even better and 2010…well, I’m not in the prediction business, but as long as I got you as my audience I know it will be awesome!

So I say thanks for your passion for cycling, sharing your stories, enjoying mine and making my journey ever so interesting!

See you here and on Amsterdamize in 2010!

Cheers,

Marc
