About
A short ferry ride and an easy cycle through the north of the city and we’ll reach the Waterlands, the countryside just outside of Amsterdam. Soon it’s cows and farmers’ signs offering up freshly made ice-cream or milk.
Because the Netherlands is relatively flat, one does not need to be in top shape to partake and the electic bike makes it a breeze.
We'll discuss water and land management, see an old-school windmill, explain why the Dutch are so bike-crazed and how they used these paths during the Second World War in search of the goods they needed to survive.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way as we cruise through a few villages and stopping to take it all in.
Since we'll spend most of our time outside the city, the stress of biking in Amsterdam will be minimised.
