July 4, 2017 - Gouda, Netherlands - you just don't know what you'll find that reminds you of home as you traipse across the country.
Bumped into this Harley
dealership while leaving Zevenhuizen. And then I happened upon another bike
shop in a little town of Moordrecht.
Lene, 59, started the shop as a bicycle
business and Shell gas station.
About five years ago he started to get ill because he was
working 13-hour days, so he cut back to just bikes. The electric bicycles are big
business in Holland.
"They're called the
Transporter," said Lene. "People love them but after about five
years the battery goes bad and then it's about €400 to fix. People don't
like to hear that news."
He said the new engines were too quick
to market.
After 30
years in business Lene hopes to retire in just 3 more. "So I can do
what you're doing," he said.
I happened to like the
variety in Lene's store refrigerator.
Making my way into
Gouda.
