I checked my ebike here in Amsterdam that my daughter uses. She has put 5000km on it in the last 2 years 🤯. Doesn’t need a car just bikes everywhere.

We're selling our family cottage / house - it's winterized. It has a ridiculous amount of beachfront, multiple decks and has big windows overlooking the river, hot tub which is amazing at 7am + high speed internet which was always a must. Jason Stephen is our listing agent - MLS soon. #waterfront
