It's stormy and super windy here in Amsterdam today. Wind so strong it's knocked down trees and can make you ride backwards or lift you right off your bike.

Drac out on a night ride look for 'friends'

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.

A beetle. That parties. He has a party hat...and balloons.

Our friend Robert Fripp isn’t wrong!

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

Riding into the summer

Spotted this cool rasta dude eating an apple and riding round VondelPark, Amsterdam

Indeed, who did?

It's been World Naked Bike Ride but not every country has it on the same day. Amsterdam is the 1st July but some have already happened. Always a sight to see.

A (manta) ray of sunshine!

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

BMX. The small bike with the big attitude

This pen-and-ink illustration was done for the cover of a church statement of faith. I named this illustration Foundation of America because I believe this country was founded by Christians who had strong faith in the God of the Bible, and through faith, prayer, and sacrifice, the patriots overcame the mighty British military. By the hand of God, a new nation was born: the United States of America. When the United States was filled with God-fearing people, God raised the country to be a super power, and the world envied the United States and flocked to her shores, the land of freedom and opportunity. Now this country has forgotten the God who gave birth to her and now is setting up new idols to worship: idols of wood, stone, metals that do not hear or see or care. Because the United States has forgotten God, it has been plagued with storms, tornadoes, floods, droughts and her enemies are waging war with her, waiting to celebrate her fall. It is my hope and prayer that people who love this country will return to honoring God and return to giving Him thanks for all the great works He has done for this nation and turn from our sins and follow God by obeying His Word: the Holy Bible. That God will remove His hand of judgment and His blessing may return to our country. This church was fist built in 1890 and is still being used as a church. It is in Norristown, Pennsylvania. This was the first Bible-believing church I attended when I became a Christian. (October 28, 2017)

Is it an E-Bike or is it a Sit on Scooter? Whatever it is I thought it was a cute. love the tiny wheels

Laid Back Riders are rare and not the bike would like to ride on busy streets but for the brave few it's the only way to go.

That wraps up May, almost!

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.

More dogs and bikes.

always funny to see big guys with small bikes.
