Amsterdam is a gorgeous city of canals, trams (inducing a nostalgia for Melbourne) and bicycles... so many bicycles! That's right, clogs are not in vogue my friends... it's pedal power everywhere you turn. Which is not all that surprising when you consider that Amsterdam's population of 700,000 is home to over 600,000 bicycles!
