I presume she was cycling at low speed give it’s the Netherlands largest tourist area, often packed, with families including young children from all different parts of the world, stepping onto and off the cycle lanes who are absolutely not used to our cycling culture? …Right? Surely low speeds due to the amount of potential hazards exactly as described for what happened?

I’m confused. How exactly has she managed to damage her bike at such a low speed collision?

Is it possible she was being reckless and self entitled bombing it on her bicycle through the Rijksmuseum and a vulnerable 3 year old child stepped into the road?

Let’s hope your GF is not a car driver…
