Since a few weeks I use my uni to cycle to work. I'm surprised how few
reactions I get and most of them are positive. The most frequent "funny"
remark is "Sameone stole your wheel", probably because a lot of bicycles
and bicycle parts are stolen in the Netherlands.

I suppose there's xenophobia everywhere.
