The Bicycles of Amsterdam

"This post is dedicated to all the Americans who have told me that most people can never bicycle, because (1) you cannot carry your groceries home on a bicycle, and (2) you cannot chauffeur children around on a bicycle," writes Siegel.

Siegels' pictures illustrate a vast variety of cargo bikes in particular, from handlebar baskets to big flatbeds.

"These pictures of bicycles in Amsterdam may open their eyes. One of these bicycles has a battery assist, which is rarely needed in a flat city like Amsterdam but which would be more useful in hillier cities."
