Anyone for moving to the Netherlands?

Bikerz, the Smart car is supposed to hit the states either later this year or next year (always find different timeframes on the web)! They already have them in Canada...so they are getting closer.

We are going to be here for another 3 years and we've already decided that we are going to buy a new Smart when we get back to the states. We love, love, love this car. It IS easy to park and it's fun to drive.


Trekhawk, thanks! I will have to take some new pictures. I have a bike rack on the Smart now and it just makes me laugh whenever I have it loaded up. I get a lot of attention, with or without the bikes, but more-so with.



Tlkiwi, I have to say, it took some getting used to as a pedestrian to realize I was the bottom of the food chain. Your pecking order is dead-on. If you are walking down a sidewalk and do not move off the path when a biker comes up behind you they will start ringing their bell like crazy. It is now second nature to constantly look over my shoulder as I walk. There are areas with separate foot paths and bike paths flanking the roads. I, myself, can't bring myself to ding anyone...it just seems like a rude car honk to me...but to the Belgians/Dutch it is rude to impede the bikers.

Take care,
M
