The Dam Biker #1 Girl Plus Teddy Bear
Posted: March 22nd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: The Dam Biker | Tags: bicycle, The Dam Biker, vondel park | 11 Comments »Amsterdam has often been titled the Bike Capital of the World with 40% of all traffic movements by bicycle. The ubiquity of bicycles lined up against every building and the number of cyclists on the road is probably the most unique element of this city. The bicycle is a part of the Dutch identity and Amsterdam truly embraces bike culture. When I first moved here, I was so amazed by all the different types of cyclists riding in this town. It is fascinating seeing whole families being carried on one bike or people moving their furniture on the back of their bikes. The bicycle is by far my favorite part of living in Amsterdam.
So, inspired by this bike culture along with the coolest blog Copenhagen Cycle Chic, I have decided to post weekly photos of the interesting bikers in this city. This first picture was taken when I first moved to Amsterdam. She is out of focus but this is a little girl riding alone with her teddy bear in Vondelpark. I can’t handle the cuteness of this city sometimes.


Hi there
I look forward to your future fietsen photies
The bike-ccentric life in Amsterdam is what I love most about it too! I’m currently sorting out moving over from the UK. I can’t wait to ride my OWN bike around town

Love it.
I know, sometimes Amsterdam is just too overwhelmingly adorable. You’re not the only one : )
It’s about time I get some help around here

cheers,

Thanks so much for the shout out!!
Could you give me the name of tamplate you used on your website
Amsterdam is a great city with wonderful places and added to that was strolling your bike to explore the city. Bike is part of their lives.
Very informational, to the point and helpful. Thanks.
