How did you fit the baby seat on the bike? Did you use special mounts or did you just put it inside without fixing it to the bike? Kind Regards Leif Hi!

How did you fit the baby seat on the bike? Did you use special mounts or did you just put it inside without fixing it to the bike?

Kind Regards

I'll have to buy a bakfiets when I have a little one. Those pictures are adorable – what a cutie. I’ll have to buy a bakfiets when I have a little one.

There are, indeed, <strong>always</strong> rowers on the Amstel, their coaches and trainers cycling along the banks communicating with megaphones. You see everything from obviously expert athletes slicing through the water to older newbies learning to row without dragging the oars through the water or catching too much wind on the return stroke. At least I assume these are important considerations. Many of the guys I cycle with on Sundays are ex competitive rowers. They generally make good cyclists since they've got good basic fitness with similar muscle groups and they're quite technique oriented. Of course if we rode in the hills most of them would struggle since they range from big to huge. Fortunately for them the only hills we have here in Holland come in gale force gusts. Hai Doede,

Next weekend it's time for the Heineken Roeivierkamp, the weekend after it's the Head of the River. Note that the Amstel is one of the busiest rivers with rowers in the world, together with Hudson and the Themes. Nice pic by the way, 'jammer' that it's not my team ;-) Hi Henry,
