I went to Amsterdam in the first week of December. I was shocked to see many bicycles. Everyone rides a bike no matter rich or poor or big or small. The weather was in the low 30F range and it rained almost the entire week. But yet, people still get around their business riding bicycles. I saw some mum bundled up their toddlers and just placed them in the wooden carriage in her bike and then ride around the entire town. Amsterdam is also very dense and compact. It is well suited to bike commuting with abundance of bike lanes on every street. I wished we can do that here in Houston and not get run down by a car or pick up truck.
