amster-damn thats a lot of bikes!

we pass by huge barges filled with bicycles parked on the canal just outside of the train station. Pakring costs 2-3 euros an hour here and bicycles are just as fast as cars in this town. We see punks, students, and buisness men in suits with their brief cases in baskets riding bikes through the streets. Hereby the station bikes fill up the parking barge and line the guardrail that runs along the street.
