Focus on Bicycling - part of living in Amsterdam
In Amsterdam bicycling is regarded by most local residents as the best way to travel through the city. Bicycles are all over the city of Amsterdam, and especially in areas that are more difficult to reach by car, the bicycle can be a very important option. This goes especially for the parts of the city where canals are so extremely widespread, such as Amsterdam Centrum and Jordaan. So look for the way the traffic near your Amsterdam house or apartment is arranged – would it be safe for inexperienced bicyclers? Are there special bicycle lanes, or do you have to mix in with the big traffic? Because ultimately, bicycles are an important part of Amsterdam, and learning to ride a bicycle is something that everyone living in Amsterdam should do.
