Oh boy, this wouldn't do well in California - there's a strong anti-smoking sentiment (but cars are ok).

Thanks for your prompt response ! I enjoy "leafing" through your blog, it reminds me of happy days when I passed through Amsterdam and Den Haag, visiting a friend, enjoying la vie hollandaise for a few days

Glad you like it, Dom. The music is 'For Sephora' by Raisa. I have personal permission to use their tracks.

I was in Ottawa 10 years ago and I remember the good time I spend along the canal... was it the canal rideau or something else?

Many of the same issues here in Portland - stuff being tried, often with really good intentions, often with moderate success, sometimes great success. Many of those photos look very familiar - all kinds of home-made, cobbled-together kinds of carrying solutions hooked to all kinds of bikes, more and more regular people in regular clothes with shopping or out for food/drinks/fun.

One nice thing about downtown Portland, even the main streets are speed-controlled enough that it's fairly comfortable to cycle in traffic, if you're at least moderately comfortable on your bike. Nice to see some experiments with cycle tracks and buffered lanes and such though, still.

Glad you had such a great trip, I'm sure it was a wonderful break from the routine. Cheers!

Marc, brilliant set. Some of those really close-up shots are very effective - personal. Goed gedaan!

absolutely! Imagine my frustration this summer when both my Nikon D70 and my Sony HDD video camera died on me...phone cameras may be handy, but it will bug the hell out of you after just a few days :)

It's a big step up from your cameraphone, for sure!
