Cyclists in Amsterdam (1900-1930)

A variety of old images with cyclists in Amsterdam from circa 1900 to circa 1930. Times when a cyclist had to share the roads with street cars and horse drawn carriages rather than with cars. Interesting to see relatively more trucks than privately owned cars in the streets of Amsterdam in the first 30 years of the 20th century. Traffic was very different. There is also no separate protected bicycle infrastructure to be seen yet. (Which was already normal outside the cities in those days in the Netherlands, but not in the cities.) These images with people on bicycles are short excerpts from a high number of other YouTube videos.

Cycling Tips for beginner 1

Hi, What do you think about pedal?

There are many choices of pedals. Which one is suitable for me?

I want to introduce the types of pedals.

Tradtional Pedal

traditional pedal

This is the traditional pedal. It is good for general commuting.

Pros: Good for SHORT distance commuting, because we can stand on at traffic light easily.

Cons: It is easy to dismount when high speed rotating. When we are pedaling fast, it would be easy to dismount. Then, you may probably get hurt.

If you want to ride faster, I do not advise you to use it.

Mountain bike Clipless pedal

Mountain Bike Clipless pedal

This is a pedal for mountain bike. It is clipless pedal, which means that the cyclist’s shoes would attach with pedal. Is it dangerous?

Pros: For the experienced cyclist, it is safe because they can release it whenever they want. And, when the cyclist pedals with a high rotation rate, it can ensure the pedal is attached. Also, it makes the cyclist spend less energy to ride, because of “fixed” position of pedal and shoes.

Cons: For the beginners, it may be less easier to release it. But there is a reference book can help you. I did it before my trip. I recommend it for cyclists.

Road Bike Clipless PEdal

Road Bike Clipless pedal

This is the road bike clipless pedal. The function is same as mountain bike one. But, the mount and release method is different. If we want to mount on the pedal, we firstly need to pitch down the leg. Then, you may hear ” click” sounds. Then, it is mount safely. When you want to release it, you simply twist the foot. Here is the detail method to show you how you can release it.

Clip pedal

Traditional Clip Pedal

This had a “cage” for your foot. It is easy to plug it. But, it maybe dangerous if using on high tarffic condition.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: May High to dismount if sets to tight.
