If there’s one aspect of Amsterdam I didn’t already talk about enough, it’s the bikes. They are everywhere, and people ride them to every location, in the most carefree way… No helmets, no uncomfortable drop handlebars, just hop on your bike, Load your family and/or your groceries, and go there. Our guide book said there are more bikes then people, and that more than 20,000 bikes end up in the canals every year.

Most of the major roads are equally divided: one lane for bikes, one lane for cars, and space in the middle for trams/buses.The bike lanes are generally the most crowded.
