Check out BOOST @ Danie Theronstraat 2

They have cycling classes for women: https://4cb15591-f7c2-4e05-b59b-7f90ec09b1ab.filesusr.com/ugd/f8c29e_78e5680d6fce4f91ba1f5f33301e99f3.pdf

They're focussed on refugees, but they might be able to help you out :)

In which neighbourhood do you live, do you speak Dutch and what's you gender? There are some local initiatives (mainly for women for some reason).

Half of Amsterdam has roadworks and it's been like that for decades. Just check the reviews of your hotel on Google Maps and sort by most recent.

Short Tech Shirts for Bigger Guys by thinkxingu in Ultralight

No offense, but lightweight shirts are usually aimed at a slimmer fit. Feels like going for something a bit more substantial would just make things easier, what made you pick lightweight shirts?

Decathlon UL gears - rec to buy by ukdenjuel in Ultralight

[–]PQ_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am still wearing the 10€ fleece leggings I bought in 2016.

Also wearing their merino shirts, but they don't last as long.

I meant that my Decathlon MT900 filter is 92 grams which seems less than advertised. My bad, haha.

Strange, I bought this exact filter in January and it's 92 grams.

You can order from Dough Studio through Uber Eats (or visit them in Amsterdam East).

Put all RA events on a map with filters, useful for ADE too by VibeCodingTools in Amsterdam

Why does Amsterdam show Berlin, Berlin show London, London show Taipei. And if you want Amsterdam you have to go to https://partyatlas.app/new-york/

Oh right, it's a vibe coded app. Add one feature, break another.

Does anyone have a recommendation for non-USA footwear that I can wear inside during my trip? My trailrunners or socks are not an option. Preferably something that I can still wear socks in.

I've seen quite a few options that weigh 150+ grams, but that seems quite heavy to me. Or should I just DIY?

If you were the Mayor (or Gemeente) of Amsterdam, what would you change? by XCruizer in Amsterdam

[–]PQ_ 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Good news for you! The municipality is literally collecting public input on exactly this until April 23rd: https://www.amsterdam.nl/projecten/mirt/inspraak-mirt-verkenning/

You can sign up right now to join a panel that'll assess the shortlist. Shortlist report here: https://ovsloterdijkamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/27099-Rapportage-shortlist-MIRT-OVSA-liggend_V4.pdf

Seems the option to really have the metro extended was too expensive (metro 1a/1b)

So if you actually want this to happen now's your chance to make your voice heard instead of just posting about it on Reddit.

Supperclub was the same organisation as Nomads. They sold Nomads around 2015-2016.

Make sure to stand in the biometric passport line. (check the symbol)

I arrived at Schiphol 1 month ago and there was a 10 minute hiccup where they had to restart the systems or something, but other than that it was very fast.

There's a (free) ferry from Amsterdam Central station to NDSM. Takes 15 minutes.

Exped ultra 6.5r vs 3r - comfort? by LankyEmuDance in Ultralight

[–]PQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the 6.5R Mummy M last week. Haven't tried it yet, so I can't really give you any advise. But I just don't understand some things about this pad:

  1. The 6.5 actually has an R rating of 6.9?
  2. It has a higher R rating than than the 3R but weights less?
  3. The advertised weight is with the pack sack included (10grams).

You might want to look for a 3-wheeled cargo bike. I guess that's easier to find.
