Today's cycle ride - in the COLD

Today's cycle ride - in the COLD, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Fred on his bike at the new Watergraafsmeer Station. This used to be his father's bicycle and has survived student life in Groningen as well as 20 years in Amsterdam and it rides like a dream.

Oh dear, Fred is on his computer checking up on my photostream, which he does every now and then,and he tells me that this was NOT hius father's bike - that was stolen in Groningen, which had him buying this bike off his upstairs neighbour - Douwe Ket!

In the meantime, the temperature got up to about 8 degrees today but felt colder with a stiff wind blowing from the north, bringing us dark but dry clouds from the still very cold North Sea.
