This is one the the things Stewart and I were looking forward to most about our visit to Amsterdam. The last time we were there, we loved the free feeling of riding through the canal's and the parks - it's just exhilarating! So, we couldn't wait to strap Bowen into a baby seat and take off. In Amsterdam, the young babies go in a seat on the front of the bike, as you can see in the pictures, and when they get older, they ride on the back. I wasn't sure how this would be and to be honest, it was a little intimidating as first. To make it worse, they don't put helmets on! This made me really nervous, but as they say, 'when in Rome'! So, I just held my breath and said a prayer -- is that irresponsible??!! After we rode for a bit and got more into the swing of the 'bike traffic' (not to mention the regular auto traffic!) it became much more comfortable and almost second nature - almost. Bowen seemed to really like the seat and looking all around. I also strapped some toys to the front of the bike to give her a little entertainment. We road throughout town, in amongst the canals and also into Vondelpark - which was probably our favorite for riding, as it was so relaxing and carefree. That's where these photos were taken - we took turns with the camera!
Enjoy! xo
