We set off on a two week cycle trip across the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France. We are going to be visiting 7 major cities, as well as enjoy the beautiful countryside. We plan to stay in tiny homes, on boats and in sustainable hotels, as well as visit a range of eco projects along the way. We will also be stuffing our faces with delicious plant based food! So come along with us as we enjoy this beautiful part of the world.

great job… really enjoyed this…
I don't ride electric… yet… but what a great way to open up cycling for everyone… how about the range? Did you have any problems running out of power on the longer rides?
Tulips ♡ Love these countries/places, spectacular! Keep safe and enjoy! 💚💚💚
I would agree that it's a GREAT country in the spring/summer/fall. But, it was TERRIBLE to bike there in the winter time! Especially in the coastal areas like Amsterdam. Icing and frigid cold & winds were TERRIBLE!
Especially in the Netherlands (as I'm sure you've noticed) you stand out like a sore thumb wearing a helmet.
"Oh, tourists" is what you'll hear people say.
Great! It 's easy to rent e-bikes in NL ? Or you bought them there?
Fabulous. I am visiting Antwerp and Brussels this year so will user your foodie tips. Train not cycling for me but not flying so happy to be making that switch.
Thank you for sharing. Looks amazing and certainly something on my bucket list as a family bicycle trip
Well arent you two lovely 🙂 glad you enjoyed cycling through my country. Sorry about the weather 😉 nowhere do you get more wet than on a bike in the rain lol greetings from the netherlands 🙂
Very nice video! Inspiring to do a bike trip.
What do you think of the tenways bikes? Are they stable with all the luggage? Is it a problem that they don't have gears, especially when you drive 25 km/h don't you have to paddle to quickly? Thanks.
Not to be that person… But Rozenburg is still Zuid-Holland. And the place you showed as Zeeland at 18.55 in the video is actually the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. The lowest island of Zuid-Holland. So I am afraid you never set foot in Zeeland. Nice video though!
Nice video. Brave of you to cycle in this weather in the time of the year !
i guess you take two tips from this trip:
2: go a month later when the weather is better ( lbeit without blooming tulips).
2: go from Dunkirk to Amsterdam to benefit southwestern tailwinds ! 😁
Yeah, the prevailing wind is southwest. So most of the time it's better to plan your trip from south to north.
