The final place where we actually bought our car I kid you not, we passed another windmill, tis time the new electricity generating ones.
Cue Twilight music!

Sooooo predictable. I was waiting for that one, and my money was on Bix to say it.

To be honest, I think you'd get funny looks on a 'normal' dutch bike here. It's only mountain bikes and bmx's(kids and teenagers).
And, you'd probably need more than 3 gears.

And the funny looks, hehe, nothing unusual.
But you're right they don't have dutch bikes there. On the other hand, that makes it kinda cool to bring it...
