Bicycles are pretty popular

P.S. not meant to be an Ad.

Bluebird, Voyagers, and Paradox three of my favorites, and only 2.5 miles round trip to all three, and I still buy a tram pass

Yes, get a multi day pass and learn to use the trams. You can walk, but you make more efficient use of your time with the tram or bus.
You can always get more stash at the coffeeshop, you can get cash at the ATM, but you can't buy more time.
Leidseplein is a good stop for trams, several stop there going in different directions.

Yep totally agree
I Hired a bike with the mrs last new years best way so far to get around.
Ride from rokin to club media in 13mins flat, i think i could have done it in less as well if mrs wasnt to nervous on the bike
Also gd way to burn those extra calories from the waffles and kobe beef burgers

+1 trams are cool, just swipe in and out with 24-72 hour pass for unlimited journeys

Excellent point! Especially since our time on this planet is pretty limited.

Walk ya lazy bastards.
Great way to explore the city and you always find some hidden gems, that you wouldn't see on a bike or tram.
