Amsterdam Bikers Against Orange Backdrop

Bryan left me at a cafe while he went to make photocopies. I didn’t have a book with me, so I took photos of all the bikers who passed.

  • amy.leblanc Says:

    that was interesting!
    the first thing i noticed was that none of them have their right pant legs rolled up like we do here in the US to keep our cuffs from getting caught in the chain. oh….. they have CHAIN GUARDS, like smart people.

    Was it cold there? I noticed that almost everyone is wearing a jacket. Nice series, by the way.

    Great photos. I liked all the ones of people talking on their cell phones. Have you tried that? It’s hard!

  • Leticia Says:

    Very cool pictures! They almost look like they were posing for your camera.

    Why am I not in Amsterdam dam dam? Why am I not you? Why is this not my post? Why? Why am I not those people riding bikes? I do have an orange background though, in this room. So.

    Nice pics. I hunt cyclists down wherever I travel and photograph them. Somewhere deep in my blog is thirty days of chinese bikes starting here:

    and working back a month.

    Ah, bikes as real transportation! Notice not a single Lance-wannabe road bike nor a single mountain bike that’ll never see a mountain. Nary a shred of lycra to be seen, and a great cross-section of people, fabulous.

    As someone who chooses a car-free lifestyle these photos do my heart good. Thanks.
