My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.

The rest, that is to say creativity, life, is optional and comes under the heading of recreation and leisure activities.

If you haven't seen your wife smile at a traffic cop, you haven't seen her smile her prettiest.
