I moved to Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) ten years ago. In the ten years, I found riding bicycles is a popular way of getting around Amsterdam. Mo st people here go to school or work by bicycle. And there are many roads and traffic signs (交通标记) for bicycles in Amsterdam. So, if you travel here, you don’t need to take a bus or a taxi, just ride a bicycle. You can get to more places by bicycle than by any other way. There are lots of bicycle shops in Amsterdam. If you don’t want to buy a bicycle, you can go to bicycle rental (出租) shops to rent one. They are in almost every place of the city. It is necessary for you to find a guide when traveling in Amsterdam. Because he would take you to some of the city’s most beautiful places.
Riding bicycles in Amsterdam is of great fun and relaxing. Remember to follow the traffic rules.
