The whole country is flat as a pancake, very conducive to cycling.
We got lost a few times navigating between towns before figuring out the green lines on the map were bike paths, not roads.
And in Amsterdam proper you have to watch it.
Except for the cheery, ubiquitous ding ding ding of bike bells, they make no sound as they swarm along the cobblestones, and the locals aren't especially patient with gawking Americans wandering into traffic.
The train stations all have these tiny little lots for cars in one corner but acres of bike parking.
And speaking of Europe, I did a gigantic double-take yesterday when I saw a lime green Smart Car tooling through downtown.
NICE!
