Making its second, and final appearance in our dandbhaarlem blog....Beth's bike.
Unfortunately, it was nicked last weekend right out of the front garden. We've actually been pretty lucky so far...three years in the bike theft capital of the world and only our fist bike stolen . Some of our friends have had two or three stolen from them since we've been here. Beth was pretty bummed, mostly because she was the one who forgot to lock it up on a friday evening.
Our friends just laughed when she said that she wanted to put out posters in the parks and bike shops and file a police report. They figure that someone is already enjoying their "new" bike 100's of kilometers away down in Maastricht. Oh well, at least now she gets to buy a(nother) new one.

Our most sincere condolences on your loss. We can feel your pain from here...
Funny that this should be the topic of your latest post - a local bike shop here in Mad Town is selling "genuine" Omafietsen. They're even called the "Amsterdam". They come complete with the 10 gauge solid steel rack capable of holding 2 cases of biertjes or an intrepid side-saddle rider. The only discernable difference is the 700c wheels instead of those massive 29" steel beauties that come on the the Omafietsen over there.
Regardless, the only cycling we're doing over here is inside, as tomorrow's high temp is a toasty zero (about -18 degrees C).
I'd rather be over in Haarlem mountain biking at Schoorl right now....
