A Journalist living in Amsterdam is writing about the lives of the 'Havermelkelite' in Amsterdam. The 'havermelkelite' is the rich middle class of Amsterdam, yuppies. I wrote a reaction on his serie havermelkelite. Everybody is welcome to write something about the 'havermelkelite'. The column is in Dutch.
This letter was developed when I was doing 'veldwerk' and waiting for respondents to arrive to fill in a survey about ebikes. I had the time and 'ebakfiets' were passing by. I noticed that the 'bakfiets' was getting more popular than I thought. I also remembered how I used to maneuver between them biking on the bike lane. Also they are always parked in the way in Amsterdam. The sidewalk in Amsterdam is very small and with them blocking it I have to risk my life stepping on the bike lane where I can get killed by 'ebakfiets' in a hurry.
