  That's lovely Adrienne and she apologized and explained for not wearing 'the real deal'...:)

  At least they had fun in a similar fashion, gotta keep an open mind to diversity, not?

  Actually, looking at the lurker list, **Amsterdamize **is reading this at the moment.

  Hello Sir / Madame, can I ask you what you think of the donation to a UK charity working in Africa? Do you think people would be willing to contribute money towards their work, even if its a non governmental organisation not based in the Netherlands?

  Yes, I do. I know plenty of people who've done that, including myself (donated to Canadian and Danish organisations before). There are no boundries, it's all about the cause and showing the results.

  "All that remains is for these bamboo freaks to band together and take to the streets, like those Tweed Run weirdos in London."

  "..."Tweed Run weirdos in London"...they're english...pretty self explanatory..."

  I think this may just be a clash of different cultures of snobbery. ;)

  coming from bikesnobnyc, I'd take that as a compliment. The man's desperate in an ugly lycra-infested world. Philosophically he's the man sitting in that hole in the ground, looking at a tree's shadow, wondering whether it's reality or not. :)

  cheers mate, just the thing i was hoping to hear

  It's a small country, but not THAT small, so not '70 miles across'.

  East to west (middle): about 110 miles
  North to south: about 212 miles

  Yes, it's flat, but never underestimate the winds ;)

  Amsterdam - Rotterdam would take about 2.5 to 3 hours.
