A Short Cycle Tour in the Netherlands 

Really enjoyed that Andrew, brought back many happy memories. Margaret will be a pro for the next adventure. Such a laugh about the fire pit...x

But ripped off with the fire though, it looked so cosy just what you needed! Great tour, thanks for sharing. You're both very inspiring! :)

Thanks for posting this, we love cycling in the Netherlands too and the places were nicely familiar. You are an inspiration managing to cycle and camp, hat's off to you.

Fantastic Journey

Nice tour but bad weather 😊😟greetings from The Netherlands 🌷

What a great tour. Lots of familiar places too ;)

Leiden, you better check out the Gardens, (Hortus botanicus) and the Observatory... both world famous.. Keukenhof you can skip... it's a tourist trap :)

Haarlem the bierthplace of Antony Fokker the famous aircraft maker, and Corry Ten Boom, the famous misionary.

I grew up in Woerden. Funny to come across it in a RU-vid video. 😀

Nice tour of holland! Now go and explore the east of the netherlands. I can highly recommend the Twente and Achterhoek regions. Maybe combine it with the national park "de hoge veluwe". Also the southern part of Limburg is really nice if you like hills :). Thinking about a cycling trip to England, any recommendations?

Thanks for the info, we are thinking of cycling a similar route next year, looking forward. Dont think we are as hardy as you two, cheers

Enjoyed that Andrew , oh to have a cycle infrastructure like the Dutch …. It looked brilliant having dedicated routes just bikes . The weather looked very British mind you must have brought it with you lol . Is that a new MSR ? Atb Dave

Ken-ne-mer-land!

Good video. What navigation app are you using? I’m off to cycle LF Maasroute tomorrow.

Obviously not a Dutchman!A helmet on a bike!😄

I thought your pronunciations were admirable. 👍

It's not Cowden, it is Gouda, with a ch sound at the start, dutch g= like scottish ch, as in lochness,

Ruigen-hoek, rough-hook.

Aye what? Ah IJ-MUIDEN, or the mouth of the IJ.

Woerden, with an oe as in shoe..

It is illegal in The Netherlands to operate a smartphone, while driving a bicycle. Although this law is not really enforced. Many smartphone addicts, mainly generation Z, have their thumbs on that thing, while being on the bicycle. Anyway, it is a reason why we not wear helmets, unnecessary, keep your attention at the traffic, at all times. Our eyes and brain are our helmets, combined with a well established infrastructure, and communication, I always make eye contact with car drivers, who also regularly drive bicycles in The Netherlands. They understand your situation and are held back by law, bicycle drivers are also legally well protected in The Netherlands. If you go really fast, it might be an effective preventative measure. But that’s not your case. At that speeds you must be really clumsy to land on your head. Mostly legs and arms will take the first blow. But that’s a rare occasion with bicycle drivers in The Netherlands.

You're in The Netherlands, take off the helmett, lol. You really look like a tourist like that.
