There is a systematic system of bicycle routes through the whole country. I recommend going to the province “Drenthe” in the north-east. The cycle roads intersect at the “knooppunten” (notch points) every few miles; you will miss our cars 😂!

European “global citizen” here: in most of the really-civilized world guns are simply forbidden; guess what: homicide rates are TENFOLD HIGHER in the US

Graph showing that homicide rates are more than TEN times higher in the US than other Western countries

There is no year 0 BCE! It is an anomaly; you go from 1 BCE directly into +1 CE

I prefer long distance trains, hopefully with a lower carbon footprint

I would think that even if one owns a gun responsibly accidents may happen ; in most Western countries (like mine) guns are forbidden, and homicide rates are TENFOLD lower than in the US

If you want a nice biking trip (10 km total): go to the south east: “ Weg naar Rhijnauwen”, then “ Vosgatsedijk” , “Rhijnauwenselaan”, rekax at “ Theehuis Rhijnauwen”, and then you go back
