Yep, Amsterdam is pretty cool. So is Amersfoort, which is why we take you there. But, the real gem of this ride lies not in the destinations, but in the journey. The network of cycle paths that The Netherlands has to offer is beyond impressive and makes pedaling a dream. Add in the beautiful Dutch landscapes and you’ve got yourself quite the fairytale bike ride.
