Photographer's Note
Childtransport by bike is a big issue in Amsterdam. A few years ago a bike with a case like here to see on the right was a rarity. Now there is the fietsfabriek and you realy see them everywhere.
You can see two other kinds of childtransport on the picture: in the middle the traditional way of carrying your child on a bike and on the left 4 kids in a handcar.
All passing the Jan Schäferbrug that connects the new Java-island with the old harbour-area. Now there is a new neigbourhood but some of the old buildings are still there and are being restored.

Hi Gerrit,
He..he.. Nice and lovely catch. It seems you were on bicycle too? It must be very nice with children. I like your POV. It's wide and results are beautiful, good colors, detailed sharp view.
After many years of ages thought walking is little difficult for me then I start to search for second bicycle "Vouwfiets" from Holland. I'm planning to put this portable one in my car then will try to use during my photography tours. I remembered saw same "Red Wagon" during my search on web sites. It's good one. Congratulations.
Best Regards,
Parbo

Hi Gerrit,
I love this photo; great capture!! It really does tell us about the world. In Australia, I saw kangaroos so big that there feet wouldn't fit in the mother's pouch and it reminded me of the mothers pushing 4-year-olds around in jogging strollers. I geuess it's an age old way to keep the kid corralled and up to speed :-)

Hi Gerrit,
peculiar and likeable image the one that you show to us here. The culture of the bicycle very is rooted in your country, and that note in this photo, the mothers taking to its children in these adapted bikes. Also he is interesting the cart of the left and the mother who takes to the children walking.
Good perspective in the frame that you have chosen, but what I like more it is how you have caught the atmosphere cheers and likeable of the moment.
Nice shot.
Regards,
Josep

Hoi Gerrit,
Een echte Nerderlandse uitvinding van de nieuwe bakfiets maar dan wel voor kinder transport, een echt fris hollands plaatje waar ook nog voldoende diepte en perspectief insteekt, en de jonge moeders wat zijn ze trots op hun kroost!
Mooi gedaan Gerrit.
Groeten,
John

Hello Gerrit.
I think this is a great perspective and a subject we haven't seen here before (atleast I haven't), So kudos for originality. The bike on the right of the photo is a very interesting mode of transport, I have not seen this in the US. Our children need to be strapped down in tight, easily restrained bundles before parents feel safe taking them out :-)
Great shot.
Regards,
Chris.

Een leuk onderwerp Gerrit en prachtig gecomponeerd beeld, links/rechts, een zeer zuiver heldere duidelijke foto, erg goed dit straat tafereel.

Hallo Gerrit,
I like this shot very much, this kind of childtransport is so popular here in the Netherlands, and so characteristic for this place! Tells a lot about the active and healthy lifestyle of the Dutch.
Btw, looks a bit as if you took this picture cycling behind this woman on the left; I wouldn't be surprised at all!
Groeten, Hanna

Hello Gerrit,
It is quite awesome to see you capture a situation like this, I'm tempted to believe you made arrangements hehehehe!
Except for the useful information on kiddy transportation the composition has good lines and nice balance, good point of view too!

Hi Gerrit,
Nice daily life shot and interesting story behind it. One way or another, being a mother in Amsterdam obviously requires good phycical condition, but these two you were approaching look quite happy :)
I like the slight tilt in this shot.
The old, abandonded building in the backgorund stands as great contrast with this new pedestrian bridge.
