It's been raining so much lately it almost feels like I'm showering on my bike.

Some of these vintage cargo bikes are so gorgeous just like the people using them.

From my Bikes of Amsterdam series. There is a guy who rides around Amsterdam with a huge cello case on his back and looks a little like this.

This one is a private commission for a friend. That's a Dutch strop-waffle the seagull has stolen. Happens more often than you would think.

During last summer I spotted this dude riding round and round Vondelpark towing his big ass speaker so everyone can hear his selected music choices. funny but also a little annoying.

some Fat Wheel bikes for todays doodle share. from my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

I spotted this Frankensteined bike out side a house in Haarlem (small town outside of Amsterdam) and have no idea how you would ride something like this safely but it was gone the next day so imagine someone did. Think you would have to be high in more ways than one to ride this bike. from. my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Balanced Family Values. You can quite often spot a family like this riding around like it's totally normal.

These are the tan lines you get when you've been cycling round in shorts and tshirts all spring

Snack Attack is what happens when you don't pay attention to attacks from above while riding hands free on your bike and eating your triple fried fries and ketchup. I actually saw this happen. From my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Spotted this cute backpack couple around town. Inspired by all the creative ways the Dutch go to to travel with their best friends.

Summer Dress, no stress

spotted this well balanced handlebar riding doggie recently. added to my series

If you live in Amsterdam you will have probably spotted this old man cycling around town in nothing but a pair of speedos, spring, summer AND winter.

This new Bikes of Amsterdam painting is of this wooden bike I saw (no pun intended) a while back. I thought it was probably owned by a lumberjack although it’s more likely some city hipster type. Either way cool bike. Guess you would need to varnish it every year.

A very well balanced Bassett Biker and his hooman.

Illustration of a guy in tiny shorts riding a bike with tiny wheels.

Bork, bork, bork! The Swedish Chef is taking “fast food” to a whole new level—now with 100% more chicken anxiety. Camilla did not sign up for this Tour de Flap, but here we are. Will they reach the kitchen safely, or will this turn into an unscheduled poultry emergency? Stay tuned. Latest from my Bikes of Amsterdam series

Turns out, leprechauns don’t need rainbows to find pot (of gold) in Amsterdam—just a solid set of wheels. This guy’s off to chase some lucky breaks, one tiny pedal at a time. Illustration by me, because St. Patrick’s Day needed more bikes.

riding while looking at your phone is a very bad idea and can land you a fine in Amsterdam but I've watched people type whole messages while riding around the city.
