The tour begins at a canal-side meeting point where painted bicycles line up like bright punctuation against grey water. A guide hands you a 3-speed Flower Bike—each one a burst of color inspired by Warren, the man whose simple act of painting his wife’s bike became a citywide symbol—and you pedal into the slow choreography of Amsterdam.
