About

My first memory of cycling is from when I was maybe 4 or 5. I was learning how to ride my bike on the sidewalk and forgot for an instant how to brake. Being a practical Dutch girl I instantly realized that my neighbours' fence will do for an impromptu option and was confused by the worried look on my moms face. I stopped, didn't I?!

Since then I have cycled. To school, to work, for work, to shops, to bars, for a holiday in my teens. And eventually as a way to see more of the world. Once I started in Laos it was hard to stop me. My neighbours' fence did a better job of it 20 years earlier than anyone asking me "Is that safe?" ever since.
