The grass is always greener…

… on the other side of the fence“, goes a popular saying. I decided to check it out in The Netherlands.

Both sides of the border: Green, lush meadows; flat land, at least in the north, in Friesland. Where’s the difference? My interest in the sweet specialties of our neighbours is pretended; actually, the food is only a side issue of my request to cycle sensibly again: When it comes to cycling, the Dutch are actually greener – in the truest sense of the word!

A biker’s paradise – the paths are wider and the surface smoother. A permanent embodiment of a real appreciation as a road user.
