Haggerty In The Hague

Many people in The Hague (and around The Netherlands) use bicycles as their primary mode of transportation.  For Lindsey and I, bikes will be our only mode of transportation.  Our bikes are simple, Dutch built bikes.  They have pedal brakes, kickstands, and no gear shifting - you don’t need it because it’s so flat!  They came with built in conveniences like wheel covers and chain guards to keep your pants safe from the chain and clean while biking.

The bikes come with a simple lock built in to the frame that prevents the back wheel from moving.  For added security, we’ve purchased another lock to secure the bike to fixed signposts or parts of buildings.  The black bags at the rear of the bike are called saddlebags and are used for transporting anything from grocery bags to gym clothes while biking.  Buying anything large and trying to transport on a bike might become a problem, but I plan on mastering this technique.
