You push off from the quay and the Maas opens like a moving map—steel cranes, glass facades, and the arch of the Erasmus Bridge slicing the sky. Pedaling through dedicated lanes, the city moves around you: freight barges drift, trams click past, and public art peppers plazas. A local guide steers the rhythm, pointing out the bright angles of the Cube Houses and the vaulted interior of the Markthal as the river dares you to look deeper into Rotterdam’s working waterfront.
