Bicycles galore

Because the Netherlands is such a small country, most everything is accessible by bike. Despite what I thought were frigid temperatures and gusty winds, we saw many of Amsterdam's residents with frostbit cheeks as they rode their bicycles from one place to another. Honestly, as Brian and I made our way around the city by foot, we were more careful on the bike lanes than the roads themselves because we were almost mowed down by the bicycles on more than one occasion.
