Hello. i am looking for a trike that I would be able to rent while in Europe. I have a paralyzed left arm. i ride a Hase Kettweissel electric trike and would need to find something very similar. Any suggestions??

Here's a link to Star Bikes Rental in Amsterdam (https://www.starbikesrental.com/) who rent a variety of bikes for people with a disability. I'm not sure if they have a trike, but it's the only company I can think of that might be able to help you. Good luck!

'The Big Fat problem of the fat bikes' you wrote. But I happen to disagree because you are completely ignoring the fact they (actually this is true for all e-bikes) cause environmental harm to populations and they are forced on the public by the industry while we could use the energy for things we really do need. Those batteries need mining and charging hence the big fat problem for the mining conditions have become even worse under the Trump administration ( https://miningdigital.com/news/what-does-us-unesco-exit-mean-for-the-environment) A bicycle, a human powered (can't stress it enough), mechanical device IS the reason why it is environmentally friendly. People in the Netherlands have been riding these bikes for ages now young spoiled kids suffering from obesity are unaware of their peers in third world countries and the conditions under which they have to mine the minerals needed for the batteries while in fact their parents are the problem and are responsible. They lack discipl

Like you say, the fact that the fatbike is marketed as a green, cheap and trendy alternative to the moped certainly doesn't mean that this is true. After all it's just marketing. Whether we like the safety, environmental, health and social impact of the fatbike or e-bike in general or not, they are here to stay. This means we will have to deal with the problems they cause on the cycle path which is clearly proving difficult.

As a blogger for the past 21 years, I too have slowed down my posts as they get scraped by the LLM platforms. See: https://jarche.com/2023/04/getting-scraped/. I understand why you are shutting down, though it is reflection of the sad state of the internet today. This cyclist wishes you well from Canada.

Thanks for your work, creating and maintaining this website. It is useful for many of us who are considering cyclotourism in the Netherlands. It's a shame that big tech is destroying the Internet. Hope the best for both of you. See you cycling!

This summer my daughter and I have used the suggested day cycle rides for the second time...we've been from Middleburg up to Texel and from Edam to Groningen. Next time I think it will have to be Utrecht and down to Maastricht. Sometimes the guides with the route numbering have been essential..(otherwise we would have been lost or stopping to resort to Google maps)...at other times routes have been straightforward although it always helps to be given a starting point and an indication of distance. The suggested routes are very helpful and we look for campsites giving access to them. Keep them coming.

Great to hear you enjoyed the suggested cycle rides on our website. I hope you will return to Holland again soon for your trip from Utrecht to Maastricht:-)

Hi Hilary and Steven,
my friend Martina and I have been spending our summer holidays on bicycles for 10 years. This year we decided to visit the Netherlands. Your website was a great source of information and tips for us on where to go and what to see there. So in July we visited Utrecht, Alkmaar, Zaanse Schans, Amsterdam (on foot), Sneek, Hindeloopen, Leeuwarden, following the footsteps of the Elfstedentocht race. We appreciated the possibility of downloading the routes in GPX format, then we adapted them to our capabilities and used them in navigation.
As always, we wrote a short article about this expedition on our blog (nabicykli.tao.sk/holandsko.html but it is only in Slovak), at the end we mention your website as a great source of information. Thank you for your great work and come to Slovakia for a bike ride sometime (but we also have some hills here...).
Juraj and Martina, Bratislava, Slovakia.

Thanks for sending a link to your blog with your story about your visit to Holland. Unfortunately I don't understand Slovak, but still all the pictures and maps give a good impression of your trip!

Great to hear you found our information useful and used some our routes, adapting them to your capabilities. That is exactly how we intended them to be used. Hope you return to Holland soon to explore more of the country by bike :-)

Planning a visit to Schiermonnikoog island. Saw your lovely photos. Is there a great cycling route that you could recommend? Would like to see the lighthouses, war bunkers, beach and of course cycling through the national parks. My husband and I both 64 not expert cyclists and our grandson age 15 will be travelling. Living in Canada and cannot find the cycling app that you have recommended. Perhaps we have to be in the Netherlands to download this app. Thank you very much for any suggestions you may have.

Dear Sue,

Schiermonnikoog is a lovely, albeit small island. It has cycle paths, but no numbred cycle network or any specific cycle route. There's really one single round-trip. Destinations (the lighthouse, bunker etc.) will be signposted. You can also see them on the Fietserbond Cycle Route Planner.

The Fietserbond Cycle Route Planner app (in Dutch) can be downloaded through their website: en.routeplanner.fietsersbond.nl/page/mobile, for both Android and iOS, or you can use their mobile website m.routeplanner.fietsersbond.nl. This is the old version of their mobile app, the new app has more functionality.

Enjoy your stay on Schiermonnikoog!

Is there a map or a book which covers these cycle routes ?

I presume you're referring to the cycle routes of the National LF Network. Yes, you will find all the routes marked on the online cycle route planner and on most cycle maps of the Netherlands. See:

Dear Holland Cycling.com,
I saved your website from several years ago when I had planned to visit Holland but couldn't. Now, my husband and I are coming during the Tulip Season and also taking a cruise out of Rotterdam. Lucky for me, I bookmarked your website. I KNOW it will be helpful to plan some cycling routes during April. We will have five days to pedal around before we leave on the cruise.
Thank goodness for Holland-Cycling.com. I don't want to pay someone else to plan our routes. It gets expensive!!! I'm really looking forward to using your site.
