One of the things surprised me was the number of bicycles here. The survey says there are 880,000 bikes in the city while the population is 820,000. I have been believing that Beijing is the bike kingdom, but I think Amsterdam beats Beijing. the city’s favorable measures for bikers such as dedicated roads for bikes encourage people to commute by bike. The bike road was much wider and nicely flat comparing to pedestrian path. For pedestrians, bike is not the only thing which you need to watch out while walking on a street. In addition to car, bus and bike, there was traffic of trams. Thus, to cross a street everytime, we had to check right and left at least three times or more. Scary…
