The Dutch have a passion for bicycles and these present themselves in many colours and shapes.
There are unusual ones, practical ones, decorated ones and collector bikes, just to name just a few. 
In the Netherlands, bicycles far outnumber the population and have become the favorite mode of transportation.
So popular in fact, that the inner core of cities has prohibited cycling, making more room for the ever-growing pedestrians.
There are the yellow rent-a-bikes that are visible throughout Amsterdam, some with some very wobbly first-time peddlers.
