this is a little outside the city center of amsterdam, where there is a little more space for wide bike paths as the one you see above (although many bike paths are actually not as narrow as i had expected!). the trees here are numerous and so very pretty! they are all crooked, hanging to the same side... of course, it started raining a little after taking this picture. at least we were almost at our destination...
as you can see, you do not necessarily need a "bakfiets" to transport kids. a seat mounted on the back works as well. some also have one on the front, so that you can transport 2 kids... :) then you can hang your big bag of groceries on your handlebar... just make sure to keep your balance!! me and my sister once were transported like that (hard to imagine now), but never in such a fancy seat as you see above.

I love how wide the biking lanes are in Amsterdam. But, I don't think I saw any empty biking lanes when I was there.
Those seats are safety seats now. The ones you sat in I used too, but are not available anymore I think and not allowed either. These ones protect the feet of the children and they can't lean back and sidewards anymore. That happenend once to a friends' daughter who knocked her head against one of those stupid poles in the bike paths. It was a big bang we heard behind us, we couldn't believe how she had done that!
That's a very nice path!
