A page about the Dutch Cycling obsession in general:

Some great cycling videos and links here: http://amsterdamize.com/

One year ago I was renting an e-bike for my stay in Amsterdam. I am sooo glad that I went.

If you had ever visited the Netherlands you would know just how ignorant and offensive you remark is.

Those dork Dutch people have only one kind of bike, a one speed cruiser bike. I prefer my 7 speed fat tire bike.

Swapfiets
Swapfiets. The most popular bike in Amsterdam by a country mile is the Swapfiets. The single speed “Original” with their signature blue front tire is so common that they're beginning to form clusters in the city. There is also a 7 speed model available as well as the increasingly popular Power 1 E-bike.Jan 9, 2022

Never got into motorcycles, but some of my friends did. Always thought they were suicide machines. I had a friend die in a motorcycle accident. Just nothing to cushion the blow on a bike.
Enjoy, but be safe.
