Forget dubs, we roll on 26s in the Netherlands. We lovingly refer to them as oma fiets, which translates to “Granny Bikes.” Our bicycles’ style come from the 1920s and are known for their swan-like step through frames. Elegant, ja? Young, old, short, tall, man, woman, we ride our oma fietsen through our towns and cities. So for you first time drivers in Amsterdam, please keep an eye out for the bike lane on your right.
