I love seeing old photos and footage from back in the day. The Eye has a great collection of these old films and this one caught my attention.
A little history lesson: this was when about 80% of all trips were made by bike. Now about 60% of all trips are made by bicycle in the city center. Amazing right?
And look at the people. So simply chic with their hats and jackets. Sitting upright on their oh-so-Dutch bikes. Love it.
We think that everyone around the world deserves to live in a place where you can safely cycle to work, to school and anywhere else you would like! With our blog we want to inspire people around the world to create a cycling city like Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Cycle Chic is part of the Global Cycle Chic Republic, founded by the original Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
