These are the pictures I have been waiting for. That is just amazing. I just cannot imagine having such a sense of balance - throw an umbrella in the mix and will be falling right on to the side walk! Oh how admire this commitment! Oh my.

I hope you are having a nice time with your family and friends :-) I had to laugh at your comment! I think they certainly are a hearty bunch over here. I guess they've been on bikes since before they were born and it's just their way. Plus not everyone has a car, so I am guessing they don't really have a choice for work or school. :-( I heard the kids keep a spare change of clothes in their lockers in case of downpours! Hi Aledys!

I have a few pics, but I need more evidence--LOL! I don't think I could manage riding around on wet pavement (or worse, cobblestone), in the cold, holding the umbrella. I'm just not that coordinated.

Nice photos! I sometimes wonder if it is that Dutch people are stubborn and that's why they insist on going everywhere by bike even under the worst weather conditions. I always joke with my husband and say it must be their Calvinist past: suffering is good for the soul hahaha I will certainly say dry this weekend - and I'm not so happy about it: we need rain here in this part of the world, since we are going through the worst drought ever... Greetings from Argentina! Hi JaPRA!

What a fun award :-) And in the spirit of things, I shall say I'm only a wimp when it comes to biking in extreme rain, wind, and cold. Eh, probably should throw in ice and snow as well!
