Dirk and Cara's Dutch Bike Tour
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Cara and I spent a month in the Netherlands in the summer of 2014. One of our favourite parts was when we borrowed a couple of bikes from my cousins in the Gelderland province, then rode a meandering route north to Assen, via a few places we wanted to stop along the way. The weather became hotter and sunnier every day, until by the end, the days were 35 degrees and we were desperately looking for a shop which stocked sunscreen! We rode very slowly, taking time to enjoy the countryside and meet people and animals. It's the best way to enjoy a holiday I think. We stayed at bed and breakfasts where possible, or sometimes hotels. The legendary Dutch hospitality did not disappoint :)

Looks like a fun trip. Thanks for the upload!

I mean no offense, but I get bored watching videos that just have music playing all the way through. I clicked on about 7 different spots and it was just video with music playing. I would rather hear you talking about where you were at a given moment, and what your thoughts were then. Sorry.

Did you set out the routes yourself or did you have help with that?
-
This video was very inspiring ..🙂
-
Hey Cara, tell me (honestly) ; weren't you a bit worried about your hubby when those two "cows" jumped in when you were swimming ?? LOL.... just teasing you !!
-
talented video making skills, very definite 'road trip' quality - quite hard to achieve even though that's what your doing if you get my drift ? nice one.
-
that's such a beautiful route to Veenendaal. Cycled there many times myself
-
This is a nice video not pushy like some of the others and I can see what the Dutch like to ride.
-

-

Many thanks for your reply. I've sent you a Facebook friend request. I use my FB as a journal of anything that comes to mind, about 10 videos etc a day. There is a huge amount on it about Nederland. Youmay find it interesting. Be sure not to look at only the highlights, but to expand to All Stories. We live in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem. I am an old father, 71, Hanny my wife is 60, and we have 19 and 21year old daughters at University in Utrecht. Brian Fenwick

Dirk and Cara, you've made the best video of Gelderland that I've seen. I've lived here for 18 years, but originally hail from the UK. Am now a Dutch citizen; my wife is Dutch born, and our children have been raised here. Gelderland is beautiful, but not in a dramatic way; it seduces you with it's softness. Congratulations. Are you from the US?
One small point. I don't know if you realised it, but the second song is in German, not Dutch. Brian Fenwick.
PS You should get sun screen in any supermarket or drug store like Kruidvat or Etos. They always have huge stocks of it.
Oops, I just noticed that you have cousins here so you must be of Dutch ancestry. -
You aren't Dutch yourself? Your name sure is!
