Trip Summary
This second exploration of Rotterdam on bikes brought us to the near north of Rotterdam center (we circled Rotterdam airport, in a way). We started in Rotterdam Centrum and headed westwards, first (south of the train tracks). We then turned right (in northwestern direction) and continued into the direction of Overschie. We connected to the dam next to Delftsche Schie and followed it for a short stretch. Then, west of the airport of Rotterdam, we turn right, again, now into northeastern direction (towards Berkel en Rodenrijs). We crossed the fields until we came to the train station of Rodenrijs. Shortly after, we turned right, again (now into southeastern direction). We followed some nice bike paths until we came to the lake(s) Bergsche Voorplas. After a short break, there, we continued (now along the Rotte, mostly in southern direction) back towards Rotterdam Centrum. Biking next to the Rotte for a bit, we came back into Rotterdam, then approaching the center from the east.
