Amsterdam is a bike-friendly city. It is a center where “bicycle culture” develops with bicycle roads and bicycle parking areas in the city. It is estimated that there are 1 million bicycles in the city. However, bicycle theft is very common. That's why bike owners tend to protect their bikes against thieves with big locks. It is not preferred to drive in the city. Because parking fees are very high.
City channels are now mostly used for boat rides, not for cargo or passenger transportation. The canals of the city are toured by the 40-50 seater boats departing from Amsterdam main train station and other parts of the city. Apart from this, private boats and 4-pedal boats ("water bikes") are also used for canal tours.
