Is that the one by the cental station?
It's always been rammed full of bikes on the occasions I've walked past
it.

Aye, tis that.

Indeed. For those cloggies who commute by train, it's fairly common to
have two bikes. One at home station and one at destination station, so
as not to have to fill the train with bikes.

My impression of cyclists in Amsterdam was they were silent killers.
Nearly go mowed down on several occasions.

Pre-1940 bikes in the Netherlands? I think not:

Heh. The first area I lived in was a sailing/holiday area that attracted
lots of non-cloggies. The cloggy kids would taunt something along the
lines of "does your granddad still hve my granddad's bike".

That's exactly the point. AIUI, cloggies are rather proud of old bikes
for precisely that reason. Or, at least, the cloggies I've known have
been.

A lot of them keep SOBs for the daily bus or train station run. They
can be reasonably sure the bikes won't be nicked during the day.

Allegedly, when the Cloggies play the Boxheads at footie, one Cloggie
chant is "Grandma wants her bicycle back."
Can any of our tame cloggies confirm?
