f her daughter. These were taken in The Hague in May. Ngaire is a New Zealander living in The Netherlands and had bought the Toi cape directly from us before they went on sale there. Barry and I just happened to be in The Netherlands in May when these came through and we saw lots of scenes just like this. The Dutch are great at coming up with ideas for getting around on bikes. We saw many kids not just in bike seats but also in little purpose built bike trailers. And from what Ngaire tells us the Toi cape is another good idea for getting around on bikes as well as other modes of transport in the rain or showers.It's hard to believe that to
day we are only two weeks away from Christmas. In New Zealand that also means summer holidays. Our kids are about to break up for their six week school holiday break. A very exciting time for them and as you can imagine a hectic time for parents. It is a time of year when lists become life savers. The children with their lists for Father Christmas and us with lists for Christmas cards, food, presents and things to take on holiday.I hope all your plans and lists are going well for the festive season.

So cute! The Dutch do indeed have some unique bike ideas! I think the one which you mentioned with trailer could be a bakfiets.. It's similar to the photo at this link: http://atouchofdutch.blogspot.com/2008/08/op-de-fiets.html
I see these everywhere and usually filled with little ones, hitching a ride with momma or the oppas [babysitter] ;-)
I wish you & your husband very happy holidays! Or, as they say in Dutch: Ik wens jullie prettige feestdagen!
Yes that is exactly what we saw. They look like lots of fun for the kinderen as they relate to their momma or oppas as opposed to trailing behind and just seeing someones back. Ik wens jullie prettige feestdagen! to you and your husband also.
