I got a new (new old second hand) bike this weekend after being bikeless for a few weeks. As a Dutch person it was of course hell. I can’t live without my bike.

But the country I live in now has far less better bike infrastructure, and it’s a gamble whether or not I am going to die each morning. Also, the city is filled with people on electric cargo bikes with their kids in front going 35 km/h in narrow streets and bicycle paths. But they are no match to my manual classic Dutch citybike, which cannot be destroyed.

The happiness I feel when I can ride my bike each morning and evening to work is unmatched. I am now looking to pimp it so that I can take my tent and stuff with me when the weather gets better.

Bikes, man. Truly a wonder.

What do y’all think of bikes? You know how to ride one?

    Bikes are superior to cars full stop.
