Train Station
or Bike Rack? Delft According to my guidebook, at least 85% of the Dutch have a bicycle; many of them have two. Bikers are all ages,gender, and dress. They chat with nearby bike mates; use their phones and PDAs; cart groceries, dogs and small children. Babies who are not yet walking are riding on their moms and dads bikes. Passengers sit side-saddle, perched on the back usually without need of a handle to hold. Bicycles are such a part of life; it is like breathing. And, I must say Dutch folks look healthy and fit. We, Spences, (some of whom are less healthy and fit than other Spences) tried out our bike skills in the flat and relatively traffic calm Vondelpark, a wonderful 110 acre park near the Leidesplein.
