Amsterdammers are known for their fondness for bicycling and get to just about everywhere by bike
The Dutch capital is known for being flooded with parked bikes, and the demand for bike parking only seems to be growing
The city of Amsterdam has completed two new giant bike sheds built underwater. Located near the Central Station
These new parking areas accommodate 11,000 bicycles in total, freeing up a lot of street-level space in the process
The two new stations are named Stationsplein and IJboulevard
The underground parking garage is connected to the Metro Hall and Amsterdam Central Station
These new underwater bike sheds are already providing much more open space for pedestrians around the city’s main train station
Streetcar tracks and stops have been replaced, and numerous underground cables and pipes have been laid
