Pete Jordan, our erstwhile dishwasher relocated to Amsterdam. As a guy who lives a bit of an impulsive life style, he admits, he decided to go to school there and eventually move there based on a photograph he found in a book that showed cyclists in Amsterdam. Hey, why not choose where you live based on a photo from the 1950's?
Once there, Pete is so entranced by the plethora of bikes, he decides he needs to stay. His new wife, Amy Joy is going to meet him in seven weeks and before even seeing the place, she is enthusiastic about staying. A decade later and things seem to be going well.
But this book isn't really a memoir...in fact, there isn't a whole lot of information about Pete and his family. Instead, this is the history of cycling in Amsterdam. Meticulously research and written with wit and humor, if you are interested in cycling, Amsterdam or just engaging books, I can recommend this one.
