In August 2023, I rode my bike from the Hoek Van Holland (Stena Line Dock) through to Belgium. This Video shows my footage of my journey riding in the Netherlads. There are plenty smooth, safe dedicated Bike paths that are available and I fully recommend on riding through out the Netherlands.

Hoek van Holland (literally: Corner of Holland). But ‘oe’ is indeed pronounced as the english ‘oo’ in hook.
Nice video
I was waiting for the part where you had to bike between cars on high speed..
Oh wait.. this is the Netherlands 😊.
But.. @u7:15 biking on the "stoep" (sidewalk)? 🤫
And perhaps you noticed yourself arojnd @10:00 the waterlevel in thec canal on yiur left is higher then the land at your right. This means probably that you are biking on reclaimed land for that area.
@13:32. Fietsstraat – auto te gast. Translated : bikestreet – car is a guest. Cars are allowed, bur bikes have priority. Cars nedcto adaot to bikers instead of otherway around. This is also explains the red asphalt (in the Netherlands an indication for a bike lane )
In general you saw a lot of canals during your trip. As this is the low countries indeed (especially the western part of my country) we need those canals to get rid of the water in the lower areas. The canals in the end are moving the water to the rivers and to the North Sea.
A silent video.
