carefully into the water. Is he looking for fish for his
dinner? Not exactly. (1) This is because he’s a
bike fisher. Amsterdam has got a lot of canals, around

100 kilometres in all, and also a large number of bikes —
probably about a million. (2) Whilst they’re a
useful way of getting around, when they end up in the
canal they can be a real problem for the many boats
operating in the city.

10 In the 1960s people started to fish for bikes and remove
them from the canals. As a result, there are a number
of official bike fishers who do the job full-time in
Amsterdam. (3) They learn a lot of things in this
time, including how to look for and pick up the bikes
correctly. Bike fishers can really help the environment
because the metal from the bikes can be recycled and
reused. The man on the boat is now pulling two dirty
old bikes out of the water. He looks quite happy with
himself — the bikes are in good condition. This means
20 they can be sold to a bike shop rather than go toa
recycling centre. (4)

Fishing for bikes is a calm and relaxing job, just like the
more traditional hobby. The bike fishers are generally
busier in winter. (5) This means the fishers have
more time to search the water more carefully and find
more bikes.
