Bikes in bloom

Amsterdam is definitely a city of bikes. The 750,000 people who live in Amsterdam own around 600,000 bicycles. Add to that all the abandoned bikes across town and there are more bikes than people! Nearly half of all traffic movement in Amsterdam is by bike. Historically, Amsterdam was not built for cars, in the 17th century, the inner city was built for pedestrians only and the narrow streets and canals do not allow for a smooth flow of cars, let alone sufficient parking space. (a big problem nowadays!) The city is compact and the maximum distance in the city central is approx five kilometres.
So bike people love the city.
I am not a bike person.
One of the few around here. No, i do not ride a bike. No, i do not own a bike. Yes, i do really live in Amsterdam. hihi.
I do have a drivers license, but hey, with this little parking space i don't like to drive around in circles around my block for hours to find a spot to park. I'm more of a public transport girl and lucky for me, i love to walk around.
I don't do bikes.

While most of them are just boring steel things with wheels, some people brighten up their means of transport. During my walks i kept noticing them. When you see so many bikes parked in the streets, the ones decorated with lovely colorful flowers do stand out and make the streets look nicer.

The orange mouse brought back some childhood memories. Does anyone know its name? I remember it being a cartoon on German TV back in the days.
Edit: I was still wondering about the name of that mouse. Today my girl saw this picture and was like, "hey, that's Der Maus!" Go figure. The German mouse is called That Mouse in German.
