A typical scene in any Dutch community: mom and baby on one bicycle and another young child on a separate bicycle
Here's another configuration: a three-wheeled cycle which is used for multiple young ones or hauling groceries
One of the hazards of a bicycle:
how to haul stuff home?
If you have never been to the Netherlands, here's a little tip: Watch out for the bicycles because they have the right-of-way! This fact was somewhat disorienting to me when I first spent time here last year, but it is easier to remember this time. So far I have not seen a pedestrian "flattened" by a cyclist, one of my first sights from the train enroute to Amsterdam last year.
The entire country is flat which makes for easy cycling. Everyone, it seems, rides a bike. Even newlyweds in their wedding finery.
