Strumbled accross your video, very relaxing to watch in the morning, nice commentary, looks like a memorable holiday, well done!

[@ce17ec]

Great video, very well made. Glad you had a nice holiday in our countries. About the weather: 2023 was one the worst summers in a century, but as you said, no bad weather only bad clothing (when you bike).

NiCE

[@sueblakey1858]

What your company did this and how much did it cost. Were you supplied 3 meals a day as part of cost. I saw that you stopped at places to eat, was that additional? Did you have the same bike every day. I you mention one day you opted for ebike. Thanks.

[@JohanKnollema]

Nice video. I suppose you visited the canadian war cemetery at Bergen op Zoom. Groesbeek is at the other side of the country.

[@margoanthony3345]

Love the video. It says you used your iPhone. Did you have it mounted or in your hand? We are going on a bike boat trip this summer and want to capture our trip. Thank you.

Hi Dutch here, it is forbidden to cycle with your mobile phone in your hand, it can result in a fine of 159 euros. I hope you have a nice holiday this summer with hopefully better weather than 2023

[@JoshHooper]

Thanks for watching. I didn't use a mount. I had the phone in my pocket and just took it out for a few seconds when I saw an interesting scene up ahead.

[@jasoncrawford1489]

What weeks of the year did you take this tour? (I'm just trying to judge the weather for a given month of the year.)

[@jasoncrawford1489]

I see in the video it mentions @19:10 that it was usually cold and wet for "early August".

[@JoshHooper]

That's correct. It was early August. Seems like it's harder to judge what the weather will be in a given month these days.

[@paullee2639]

do we need prepare the bike by ourown the bike is include on the package as well?

[@JoshHooper]

They supply bikes, but you can bring your own. Of the bikes they supply, you can choose ebike or conventional bike. We rode the ebikes.
