Outside Amsterdam Centraal Station. Bikes were everywhere, and there was even a parking structure for bicycles.
Bicycles have their own roadways in Amsterdam. The ground is colored red. When the roadways all cross, madness occurs. What happens cyclists dominate the road? It starts to look a lot like when cars dominate. Note the man on a cell phone and the confrontation in the background between a Ford van and a cyclist.
Carrying cargo in the front seems to be popular in Amsterdam. At least in the SF area, the Schwinn trikes rule-- but in Amsterdam, these Gazelle cargo bikes and the trike later in this photo series were dominant.
A Sinclar C5 from the 80s. A precursor to modern electric bicycles, the C5 was a total flop.
This style of cargo trike is very popular in Amsterdam for transporting goods... and often times children!
Electric vehicle charging station. There was a cluster of EVs parked around this station.
Fancy a bike? Many of these weren't even locked up.
I haven't seen these spoke beads since the 80s. Note the front and rear cargo racks. Much beefier than the sort you get state-side.
Amsterdam's bicycle lanes were shared with rickshaw type taxis and motorcycles!
I saw a few of these scooters with a large rear hub motor. There are pedals, but it definitely did not look comfortable to pedal!
Note the padding on the rear cargo rack. This is so passengers can comfortably sit on the rack. Also, the padded pieces are like wings and can fold out for carrying larger items.
This was the most popular model of electric scooter in Antalya, Turkey. It looked like every third scooter was of this type.
