Brightly colored bikes decorated in flowers have been popping up all over Amsterdam for years.
The bikes are not the work of a mythical Dutch bike fairy, but an American man in his 50s by the name of Warren Gregory.
Known fondly as the Flower Bike Man, Warren’s bike-decorating began when his wife couldn’t find her bike at Amsterdam Central. Warren’s wife, Michelle, has had epilepsy for years and often struggles to remember details like where she parked her bike — although, let’s face it, finding your bike in Dutch bike sheds is a nightmare for anybody!
To help her out, Warren decorated Michelle’s bike in bright flowers so that it would be unmissable. He then decorated a bunch of abandoned bikes, which he left along with the route home so that she would never get lost again. How sweet is that?
