Two Wheels

Amsterdam is most accessible by bicycle, or anything on two wheels. With roughly 750,000 inhabitants and 700,000 bicycles in the city, that's about one bicycle per person. There are some unique challenges regarding footwear when getting around by bicycle, flexibility and traction are the two most immediate I can recall. Bicycles can also be a great opportunity for self expression. While living in Amsterdam, I rode "Blackbeard's Delight" everyday, rain or shine. When you are faced with finding your bike among a few hundred or even a few thousand in one place, it helps to have a unique aspect to your bike.
