CNN iReporter Shaky Jones, reporting from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Not even the extremely cold weather of the last weeks, which has griped the European continent, stops the Dutch from using their bicycles. Bicycles are an integral part of Dutch culture and tradition forming a part of the very fabric of its society. The weather, whether raining, snowing or however harsh -does not discourage the Dutch from using their bicycles as a real means of transportation. In fact, when tourist or ex-pats come to Amsterdam (or any Dutch city) they, for the most part, realize how convenient it is to get around on a bicycle. As I did, you either buy a use bicycle or rent one and join in the fun. The infrastructure in The Netherlands was design with the Bicycle Life in mind; it's all about lifestyle and The Bicycle Life.
