Although Holland is perhaps most commonly known for Cheese, Cloggs, Blue eyes and Blonde hair, The Netherlands and in particular Amsterdam share one other main export. Bikes. Walking along the streets of Amsterdam there are two things out to get you the enormous Trams (that will squish you upon impact) and the faster moving but less scary bikers.
Although on previous visits to Holland I have always noticed the bikes it has taken until now for me to see just how different each one can be. Inspired by our project 'Touch' I set about documenting how people had added their own personal 'touch' to their bikes, making them not only more practical but allowing them to stand out from the crowd.
