    What's the difference between a twarrel, scharrel and a kwarrel? How do you prevent your bike from getting stolen? What else should you know? The University of Amsterdam asked us to make a Survival Guide for all of their new students starting a life in Amsterdam as of this week. Here it is!

    a guide on how to make sure your bike does NOT get stolen
    1. buy an old bike
    2. buy some weird color spraypaint bottles at Action (neon green and yellow for example)
    3. paint your bike
    4. buy a bike lock just in case and NEVER lock it on the front wheel but ALWAYS lock it on the frame and back wheel
    now your bike is so ugly and easy recognizable that thieves aren't that interested anymore
    and as a bonus you'll always be able to find your bike really easily

    • @oceanman7868
      @oceanman7868 Před 3 lety +2

      wait why the back wheel? i always do front wheel, frame, pole. that way they wont steal your front tire and the normale lock is holding the back. stealing the back tire is harder to steal as well so thats why the front wheel.

    The Republic of Amsterdam has two areas, with de Grachtengordel being the core. If you live there you have made it, if you live within de Ring you are trying to make it and if you live outside de Ring but within the Netherlands you live in de Provincie and you are a boerenpummel. If you live outside the Netherlands you live in de Wereld. So planet Earth can be divided in four areas, de Grachtengordel, de Ring, de Provincie and de Wereld. A true Amsterdammer will only leave de Ring to go to Schiphol to visit de Wereld.
