Cycling stops in Amsterdam

18 places · Netherlands

North of the IJ the city stops abruptly and Waterland begins: dyke roads a few metres wide, water on both sides and villages that were fishing ports before the sea was shut out. West are the dunes, which are as close to a climb as this country offers.

The wind decides the shape of a ride here, so the route out is chosen by which way it is blowing.
