Here is a virtual bike tour around our area.  Its pretty flat, but this is the Netherlands.

Some bloke just rode around and shot videos of the bike paths.

He did a great job, i tried shooting from the bike but results were shitty.
The music is classical piano that PapaBas used to play everyday, so, sentimental for us.

These are marked, well maintained bike paths.  There are many other self guided routes to choose.
We live in the middle of these bike paths, near junction #34 and we try to go on a different excursion every day and our trips are getting longer, up to 35 kms a day now.
Pack a picnic lunch and either hot or cold drinks, depending on the weather.

Recently put a hitch on the little Fiat Panda and have a dedicated bike rack for 2 ebikes.  This will allow us to explore to other areas out of our daily range.

Marjo is getting much more confident on dirt and sand tracks and we both clamped on stick shifters to make gear changing easier for arthritic hands that can't grip squeeze or turn much anymore

Heres a few pics....

Stick shifter

I musta swelled up a bit, couple of the peafowl that stop by for vittles

Roadside stall, home made stuff, eggs, fruit, plants, seeds, produce, nuts, honor system, put yer money in the pot.

On one of the many volunteer maintained cycle paths....recent living arbour addition.  I think it is willow and they have sprouted.

Marjo and Maarten on bench overlooking a peaceful rural scene, no trash, no rubbish

We use the bikes daily for most trips and shopping within our range of 20 kms or so
Life is very different here from our Island life for many years on Abaco.
