A Place Called Providence

Walking along London Rd the other day, I noticed an intriguing sign on the open market.

So I went to take a look, and found a small piece of Amsterdam transplanted to Brighton. Amsterdammers sells those classic Dutch bicycles. Many (many) years ago, I worked in a bar in Amsterdam called Fat City, lived above the shop and rode around during the day on a sit-up-and-beg classic bike. Avoiding the trams, I took long languid rides around town, going nowhere in particular - as I had no-where to go. Now I want a new one.

Second hand and new Dutch bikes
