Best Cycling in the World? Cycle Touring the Netherlands (Part 2)

I've just come back from the Netherland's today to the UK. I certainly did not want to leave! I am so jealous of the amazing cycling infrastructure the Netherlands have there. Although I did'nt do any cycling as I was on a work trip but I did running during the evenings and saw it for myself. But no doubt I will return for a leisure activity such as this. Your videos provide brilliant ideas of how to lay out a cycling itinerary.

Glad to hear you enjoyed cycling here in The Netherlands. Always welcome to come back for a new tour 😊

That was lovely. Thanks for sharing.

What a great video you've made there! Congrats on your achievement, and many thanks for sharing your experiences with us! 👏🏻 Hope your bum will be OK soon 😉

Hi guy, glad you came and experienced our country. Bit of a shame you only saw the flat parts as our country (believe it or not) does have hills to offer. You've now see pretty much most of the traditional fishing and old Dutch northern style of living. Please next time around make sure to include provinces Gelderland and Limburg to your trip. Lots of history of WW2, forests , hills, and wonderful views. Flying to Eindhoven , do a nice trip and return from Maastricht should make things easier for you. Really enjoyed the video. Hope your bum is okay from the saddle haha. Looked like a pretty firm ride they lend you.

Some nice footage of our beautiful country 👍

I think the weather this year has been super wet so far and temperatures have been low. Not what we've been accustomed to in recent years. A rooster is pronounced like roaster and is the same type of metal grill that you can find on the barbecue, but obviously not used for frying wildlife in this case. :) It's the Dutch word for grate/grid/grill, usually in the sense of exhaust/intake cover, but here it's a filter.

You need to try a leather BROOKS saddle.

This year is extremely wet. Snails are common, but we have a lot of them this year.

Dwingeloo, so beautifully. my mother is from there. She is called Lammy (Lammigje) which means little lamb. Very common name in Drenthe. When her parents moved to Arnhem (Gelderland, middle/eastern of the country) she was like 14 and the teacher introduced her as “Lammetje” in the class. Which is the litteral Dutch way to say small lamb. Everybody was crying off laughter and she was just embarrassed. It all came good for her, do not worry 😅

Nice trip, to bad this year the weather is like an everlasting autumn. Maybe nextbyear the south of the Netherlands and/ore North Belgium? Thanks for taking us along!

Nice to see your cycling through our hometown Dwingeloo

So many slugs is indeed bizar this year. This is mainly due to the very wet spring. It's a shame you have so much rain. A year ago things were completely different. Then we even had a heat wave. Unfortunately you were not lucky in terms of weather.

Hi I love your bike tour through the Netherlands. I was wondering if you could make a map of the tour you've done?

Hah.... joy... you pronounced Friesland correctly. My heads up last video was clearly not needed. There will always be a slight accent but I give you a 9.9/10 for that one. There are a few Youtubers I know that are very interested in reacting to things in/about the Netherlands, would you mind if I suggest your biketour to them? 2:32 acceptable mate, very acceptable. 8:36 Technically "Cattle grid" would be Vee Rooster. This would better be translated as "Game/wildlife grid". As an avid cycler, I often bring something as lunch but I never thought about those energy thingies.. do they really work better than say my dextrose or grape sugar? (I am an old man, grape sugar was what we had when I started touring, there wasn't protein shakes or energy gels, you stick with what you know usually right?) Language tip: If you see words ending on te (Like Drente) it usually is pronounced like "duh" but with a hard T instead of that d so basically Drentuh 12:46 wait... how the bleep are you already in Naarden. I went to school there for about 4 years. You are a fast cycler mate. Great video, do come back. There is so much beautiful places. Thewoods and national parks in Utrecht, Brabant and Gelderland, the hills (and even a "mountain" in Limburg, The Delta works in Zeeland etc.

There are many more slugs than normal this year, because of the incredibly wet year we've had.

Nice trip. I would recommend to use a short with chamois.

great vlog Guy, although the music makes me feel a bit sad

Ik overdrijf niet er er zijn uitzonderingen inderdaad. Lees Natuuramnesie van Marc Argelo of Lanschapspijn van Jantien de Boer. Fijne avond!

You are already shopping as a Dutchie. Just hop on your bike to the nearest supermarket and get your groceries for the day.
