Student's Mushroom Fueled Nude Rescue
I can kind of understand the sentiment behind the ticketing. As someone who has lived and cycled a large chunk of her adult life in Amsterdam - bikes, especially in droves, can be ruthless. There is one particular spot in Amsterdam where there is a zebra crossing from one end of the main shopping street to the other, across a main cycling route from one end of the city to the other - but i tell ya, you're taking your life into your own hands trying to cross there. The zebra part of the crossing means NOTHING. Cyclists are always in a hurry, and seem to be trying to break the speed barrier. AND they always seem to move in packs. And this is in a place where everybody EXPECTS there to be bikes everywhere. (well, ok, except tourists. Very funny to watch them have a heart attack at the mere sound of a bike or tram bell ;)
So yeah, in a place where everybody expects to be able to walk around without getting flattened by cars, a big crowd of bikes zooming through there does not seem like a particularly good idea. But seriously, ticketing and impounds? Have they nothing better to do?
