I've never been to a city that embraces one of the greenest means of commuting as much as Amsterdam does! Bike riding is extremely abundant, and nearly every local will use one as a means of transport if the commuting distance is sort enough. Surprisingly, even with the abundance of bicycles on the road, theft is still quite high. The city fishes dozens of stolen then dumped bikes out of it's canals every week. If unclaimed, they are then resold at reasonable rates. This is a good choice for obtaining a bike if you are planning an extended stay. If you are planning a short visit, there are many places to hire a bike for a few hours, if you'd like to tour around the city centre. Parking (as you can see above) can be hectic, so if you're planning on any stops on your site-seeing voyage, it may be best to stick to transit or my second favorite "2 feet and a heartbeat". As a pedestrian, due to the high number of cyclists, please be extra mindful of the bikes passing when crossing the streets.
