Pete Jordan, author of the wildly popular Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States, is back with a memoir that tells the story of his love affair with Amsterdam, the city of bikes, all the while unfolding an unknown history of the city's cycling, from the craze of the 1890s, through the Nazi occupation, to the bike-centric culture adored by the world today

Pete never planned to stay long in Amsterdam, just a semester. But he quickly falls in love with the city and soon his wife, Amy Joy, joins him. Together they explore every inch of their new home on two wheels, their rides a respite from the struggles that come with starting a new life in a new country.

Weaving together personal anecdotes and details of the role that cycling has played throughout Dutch history, Pete Jordan's In the City of Bikes: The Story of the Amsterdam Cyclist is a poignant and entertaining read.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! SHOE 💯❤️
Very stylish canvas design with that Polo flare & logo.. I dressed these up casually with a midi skirt & top & down with denim Capri pants and a cute top and multiple times these sneakers never disappointed.. Im a women's sz 9-10 and ordered both sz 8 & 8.5 too make sure the fit was comfortable and they are a true sz fit for a women's sz 9 & 9.5/10. They're easy to slide into, cost is budget friendly and shipping/delivery was super fast. I highly recommend these sneakers if you're looking to step out jazzy casual 🫶🏿❤️ I'm really happy with my purchase I had to order more😁... Seller is⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly Recommended Thank you kindly 🌹

Very good looking shoes
Size: 11, Color: Black/Black
I really like the way these shoes look. They look different yet “well known”, as in, these are regular flat shoes but with a very unique design that make them seem neat and “basic” yet different and stylish. I personally loved them. However, I don’t really understand how so many reviews call these “comfortable”. They are very well made, yes. These definitely promise to last. On the other hand; the fabric feels rather sturdy or rigid. They fit perfectly. For me personally, I have rather narrow feet and these may feel a tad loose, which does not help at all. My feet feel sore after walking on them for some hours and also they feel rather heavy too? I mean, these shoes are inexplicably heavy. Either way 10/10 in style 6/10 comfort
