Amsterdam's canal houses, gabled facades, and Neo Gothic Central Station are all architectural gems, but we've chosen something simpler to represent this world city: the bicycle! The Dutch love their bicycles, in most cases grew up on two wheels, and use bikes for business and pleasure—commuting, visiting a friend, or riding through the countryside. During rush hour, thousands of bikes fill the streets, with crowds of cyclists waiting to cross intersections. Bikes are a great way to navigate the city of Amsterdam, as streets and dedicated bike paths are designed to not only give bicycles their space, but even to prioritize two-wheeled transport, which is better for health and better for the environment!
