Triple threat
If it isn't bad enough that I have to watch for cars on the streets here you add in some trams and bikes and you have a triple threat on the road. The cars are actual the least of my problems here as most people don't have them. The bikes are the vicious ones around here....everyone has one and I mean everyone. I guess it's good for exercise and all but they're all over the place and they sneak up on you. In a fairly close second would be the trams. There's nothing separating them on the roads so it would be pretty easy to get run down if you're not watch. Making all of this worse is it's hard to tell where the sidewalk/bike path/tram way/roads begins and ends. It all just bleeds into each other. Definitely can't be going to those other coffee shops if you want to stay alive on the roads around here.

Having a bike in the Netherlands actually is really nice - after you get used to the traffic. Nothing like cutting off cars or trying to beat a bus over a bridge because there is only room for one of you at a time!
I guess way back when, people wouldn't even lock their bikes and would just take whatever bike was available from the rack!!
