I have not cyclied as much as I would like in the Netherlands. It used to kill me going from the airport to my client watching groups of riders on beautifully paved cycling roads/wegs. I would just stare and dream. Heaven. Someday I am going to visit a family friend who owns a massive tulip farm way up north of Amsterdam. I was going to do the race around the Netherlands (RATN) but an accident and covid did me in. Just tell your wife that cycling in NL is like getting to visit heaven for a moment.
