Proof positive that we were able to bring our Secret Service bicycles back from the Netherlands unscathed.
You may have read about the trials and tribulations of transporting our bikes back from Holland on Amsterdamize.
Well here’s proof positive that we did get the bikes back to Canada and that I was able to re-assemble them properly!

Jammin’? You mean, pedal to the tarmac, lol. Helen couldn’t keep up!
What a nice neighborhood to cruise through, guys, specially going down :-p.
Thanks for that video, the Opa & Oma seem to have adapted to new circumstances quite well..
Too funny as I had no idea that she was videoing me (until half way through). That bike can really go.
That is our neighborhood (BTW)
Helen is ready to be executive producer for Cyclemania TV, go, go, go!
I figured it would be your hood. Not bad at all, mate.

Hi Les!
I have a question for you and Helen!
Does your trip to Netherland changed the way you look at cycling? If yes, what did change?
Thanks
Phil
@ Phil: Great question – and one that many people have asked. The short answer is “Yes”!
We used to look at cycling very much from a distance perspective. How far did we go? We still manage our distances. But our trip really taught us the inner values of cycling and to learn to slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery.
