After this weekend Charles and I feel just a tiny bit more "Dutch." Why? We got bikes! I received my bike when we got our sea shipment from the US, but Charles was bikeless until this weekend. When he just couldn't take being left out with respect to the most preferred mode of transportation in the Netherlands, he went to Mega Bike and picked up a basic model for about 250 Euro.
So this weekend we rode around town instead of relying on the Rotterdam Metro. My bike is pretty much a road bike that is capable of being used in the city so it can be pretty brutal on the cobblestones outside our apartment. Charles, on the other hand, got a typical Dutch model with the curved handlebars, comfy seat, and rack on the back for bags. We also purchased a nice thick chain lock so no one can steal our bikes and throw them in the canals. ;)
