I will do this in English, but feel free to respond in Dutch.

I have had a boat in Amsterdam for a few years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to pick up a shift a week or so taking others through the canals. I thought this would be an easy proposition considering the number of rondvaart companies in the city, but lord was I wrong.

To start, I acknowledge I am a bit picky. I have no desire to work for Lovers or Flagship or any of the overly homogenized/touristic companies. I would love to work for Those Dam Boat Guys, a salonboot, or a company of similar spirit.

But this got me thinking. I already volunteer at Fietsen Alle Jaren, where we take elderly/disabled out on a bike rickshaw. Something like this on a boat would be wonderful. However in searching I only found the Fluistervink in Het Bos, and that requires much more knowledge of the wildlife in the city than I am able to provide. I was in Amersfoort this weekend and took a rondvaart cruise which was entirely volunteer run.

So r/amsterdam I reach out to you. Do you know a volunteer organization that needs a schipper? Or perhaps a small local company that needs an occasional extra hand? I am knowledgeable of Amsterdam, personable, and am a rare(ish) native English speaker that also speaks Dutch. I love the maritime culture of the city (I painted the big schipper on Prins Hendrikkade) and would love to share it with others.

Many thanks.

P.S. If anyone knows the owners at Those Dam Boat Guys please point them my way. I swear they follow the same routes I do and every time I see them on the water I think that would be perfect for me.

Hello,

I am an avid cyclist and have been enjoying using the Dutch Fietsknoppunt Netwerk on my cycles. I have looked far and wide for a large map of the entire country and the network. I know the data is publicly availble in many places, but I can not find an entire map that I can purchase or easily print.

If someone here can make this for me, as a PDF or SVG or whatever I would be very grateful. My goal is to print it out for my wall and plot all the rides I take.

Thank you

I have spent the better part of 20 years traveling the world and painting walls. I have watched the scene grow from a little world-family into a mainstream phenomenon. I have hid from police and later been paid by the city for the same work.

Hallo iedereen

Tegenwoordig fiets ik vaak door Noord-Holland en Utrecht. Ik heb een paar verschillende fietskaarten gekocht, maar geen enkele is precies wat ik zoek. Ik wil zelf een fietskaart laten drukken voor aan de muur, zodat ik mijn tochten erop kan markeren.
Ik weet dat de data openbaar is, maar ik heb geen idee hoe je met QGIS werkt. Is er iemand die een SVG/PDF van de fietsknooppuntennetwerkkaart heeft?

Of is er iemand die me hiermee kan helpen?

Bedankt!
