On
our recent research trip for the new edition of Rhine 2 from Emmerich
to Hoek van Holland we had noticed that our maps were out of date and so
I nipped into the VVV information centre in Dordrecht to buy more
up-to-date maps to check the routes when we finally finish the book.
While I was away Judith chatted up a bicycle policeman and asked him
about bike theft. He replied that Dutch roadsters were a favourite of
Dutch thieves. "Odd or special" bikes like our Bromptons were not of
interest to the bike thieves. They were too difficult to get rid of. The
reverse is true in London. Bromptons are standard bikes there and seem to be
very high on thieves' hit lists.
