Every­day 3000 bikes are stolen in Ams­ter­dam. A friend of mine said that if your bike is stolen you should just steal ran­dom bikes until finally you end up with your own again.

There are 15.000 km of bikepaths in Amsterdam.

There are 700.000 peo­ple liv­ing in Ams­ter­dam and about 1 mil­lion bikes.

If you need a bike you can always find a drug addict with a bike to sell some­where around, an excel­lent com­bi­na­tion of an open drug cul­ture fused with a forward-thinking trans­porta­tion scheme.

Some­one men­tioned that every year 60.000 bikes end up in the Ams­ter­dam dykes. That’s a lot of bikes, in dykes.

In 2007 26 peo­ple were mur­dered in Ams­ter­dam, while only 18 peo­ple died in bik­ere­lated acci­dents. It doesn’t say if those peo­ple were mur­dered for their bikes.

This is me and the bike my land­lord lent me with my room. It’s 82 years old and I have dubbed it The Ossom­i­na­tor, because it’s OSSOM.
