Bikers, helmet-less
Often in pristine dresses, skirts or business suits,
Sit upright and pedal hard and fast.
They are a cycling river.
The bike lanes are narrow
Weaving between the cars and us, the pedestrians,
Twisting around light poles and
Electric car charging stations.
Many of the bikes have large front carts,
Containing one or two children,
Sometimes an adult,
Often a dog.
It is exhilarating to see this river
Of human energy.
Though, I long to ride a bike again
I would never ride in Amsterdam.
