Amsterdam: The City Of Bicycles


Amsterdam can be considered as the European capital of bicycles. It seems that here are more bicycles than in China. Everything is well arranged for bicyclists: special roads, traffic lights and parking places. Bicycle bells are heard everywhere in Amsterdam. About 400.000 people get on their cycles each day. But all this is not so simple, because if you are not experienced enough it wouldn't be a safe ride. Especially tourists have various unpleasant accidents.
