Lester Cycles no. 000, Lester Janssen's personal cyclocross bike, hand built in Amsterdam's old port. What a beauty! The many ships @lestercycles sees out of his workshop's windows inspire the paint schemes on his bikes, and this one was inspired by Prelude, the world's largest ship (ironically, it's Shell's natural gas platform). #lestercycles #baaw

Eight-year-old Otto is beyond pumped to have what just might be the coolest bespoke shoes in the city thanks to @frankvandersman's line work. Skulls, pizza, his dog Roxy, flames... these things have it all! #skateordie

Home for the night, @jonwoodroof's treehouse in the center of Amsterdam! This is fulfilling a dream I never knew I had. It'll be a welcome relief after a memorably horrible night of sleep on the beach last night when a massive storm blew in and completely soaked everything. #bikepacking

Less than an hour into my ride across Holland and I've already taken a dip in the North Sea and had a very close encounter with this little guy while riding through the dunes at sunset. Not bad, Holland! #bikepacking

I'm staying out of this one. Made my way out of London and to England's east coast late last night. Now on the ferry over to Holland. Next stop, Amsterdam! #bikepacking #baaw
