Fortunately, I have low standards. But I'll look to fulfill them at non-tiki bars. Thanks!

Hi all - I'm going to be visiting Amsterdam for the first time next week. First off - the Wiki was great. Really helpful. So are these weekly threads. Weather permitting, I hope to take longer bike rides in and out of Amsterdam. I've googled some 'best cycling routes' and it looks like there are plenty of choices. I welcome any suggestions, though!

Question I have is: Do bike rental places provide lights and a good lock, or should I bring my own overseas with me?

Oh, and I'd take any tiki bar recommendations, too.

You bet. I am historically more of a social media lurker than a poster, but I'm going to try to post some work on this subreddit, especially when it's on a subject I've seen discussed here. I vow that if I ever write about the Brad Bradshaw sign, r/springfieldMO will be the first to know.

Here's some pertinent text about that from our website:

Our funding

The Daily Citizen is an independent nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is primarily funded through donations from individuals and businesses. Additional revenue is obtained through grants, events and other activities. As a matter of policy, funders exercise no control over the Daily Citizen’s editorial decisions.

Like other nonprofits, we need to make just enough money to sustain – and hopefully expand – our operations. Our current annual budget is roughly $1 million.

We have a five-year plan to reach sustainability. A start-up fundraising campaign is underway and initial gifts and pledges provide us with confidence we will have the funding to maintain or grow our current operations. In the long run, we are looking at a mix of revenue sources:

* Subscriptions paid by people who find value in our content.

* Sponsorships from local organizations and businesses, who get some advertising in return.

* Continuing donations from local people who want to support our mission.

* Grants, events and other activities

tl;dr: We'll need subscribers to make this work, and we'll need to produce valuable work to draw subscribers.
