Bicycle parking

[gunzo]

Hey guys.

Going to Amsterdam next month, will stay for a week.
Me and my friend are thinking about renting bikes for the trip, I've heard that bike theft is big is 'Dam and that worries me a bit. How is the "parking" situation in front of coffeeshops ? Do we have to worry about not finding a place to lock our bikes to near some/many/any shops ?

Any coffeeshops in particular that have an exceptionally good or big parking for bikes ?

you will be fine as long as you can lock your bike securely, be that with or without a rail.
