This is a very Dutch picture. In any other country, the participants of a conference or school are left to fend for themselves, to walk to their hotel in apprehensive groups, by way of dark and foreign-looking places. But in Holland everyone gets a nice bicycle, with actually working lights, which offers a large measure of freedom and independence. As a final courtesy, we even supply a nice plastic bag with a prestigious logo, to shield the saddle against the unlikely contingency of a drop of moisturizing rain.
