Would you park a Gazelle...

I wouldn't just rely on a cable, they cut them through over here. So an additional U-lock is a requirement

And the amsterdam bike storage is a great place but where did I park mine? That's why we pimp our bikes and there is also the chance that it will not get stolen since everybody will recognize it

Oh my, that is precious!!!! How did you do it? All those stripes...

[pooks]

I love that bike! I want to do something like that to mine. It's just so BORING!

I LOVE those bike garage pics... how cool is that??? thanks for sharing 'em! and your pimped bike is awesome

Geonz... hope the date goes well!

It's not my pimped bike but it could be

What normally happens is that you buy a worn down bike at the railwaystation bikeshop (for $70). Then take a can of paint and brush or spray it in the colour. And than with coloured tape (you know the one electricians use) you add a bit of colour and a personal design to it.

Well, sue, this seems more like a dating question than a cycle question. Hmmmm. How well do you like this guy so far? Wouldn't hurt to dress up and with your beautiful bike you could wear a nice skirt, even ankle length, maybe a matching bow on your handle bars.

Next time he asks you out, make sure its somewhere you can ride your bike AND feel safe parking it. Does he have a bicycle too? You could share a long cable lock together on the same bike rack and have seperate U-locks (how romantic!)

(My son just spray painted his bike while he's using it at school.)

I love the fact that all those bikes in that garage appear to be real WORKING/COMMUTER bikes, I don't even see one road bike or fancy bike. That is pretty cool- a place where so many people just ride bikes instead of cars.
Where I live, there aren't ANY bike racks on the street to lock your bike to. I have to get creative finding something to lock to in my town.
Perhaps one day bikes will be more commonplace transportation here in the US when gas has been wasted so much that it becomes almost unobtainable?
