This bike has been parked outside Keizersgracht 26 for the past year or so. It's the family estate car of bikes -- a Volvo, if you will, compared with the boxier SUV-style bakfiets. I love the color; this vibrant green is rather unusual for bikes around here, most being a combination of black, silver, rust, and accumulated Amsterdam filth. And I love the way the reflective paint on the tyres punctures the gloom of a December night. I've never seen anyone riding this though; it's either there or not there, never in the process of being put there. Strange.

It's a beauty. I am envious.
