How many bikes did you see in one place? Ten? Hundred? Do you want to see several thousand at the same time? Not far from the railway station, at Stationsplein 49, there is the largest bicycle parking in the city. According to statistics, there are more bicycles in Amsterdam than there are residents in the city. Bicycles are everywhere! This is the cult, religion and way of life of the Dutch.
At first, you get used to the fact that there are special bike paths where you have to look carefully - but are you disturbing the cyclist? : ) Then a conditioned reflex is developed - if you hear a bicycle bell, you need to have time to jump to the side.
I got a funny situation when, having heard the bell, I, according to the already established tradition, quickly jumped to the side - I look around, a small tricycle rider is riding, who was amused by my sharp jumps to the side : )
