After spending four weeks cycling a large loop in the Netherlands, I have to agree with you! It’s cycling heaven!

It's great to hear that! We are kind of spoiled with the bike lanes we have.

As a new Dutchie, I’m loving the cycling culture here. I agree the Veluwe is tops for cycling. There’s also great cycling around Venlo. Groningen has lots of open spaces for cycling - and wind! A bit challenging on our non-electric bikes! Tot ziens!

Hallo new Dutchie, welkom! Oh yes Groningen has a lot of wind - I experienced that last year on a ride. I always check windfinder.com before I go; and also to plan tailwind on my way back 🙃

Riding bikes in Amsterdam was one of my best travel experiences. Although I never managed to master the left hand turn. It was just too overwhelming. But I did learn how to get to places doing right hand turns only. 😀

Oh that’s great! It can be so nice to cycle around Amsterdam. And it can be tricky; especially when it’s so crowded and people are rushed.
