Details of the cycling route: no. 1 is not in video 1. Eindhoven to Tilburg: Main road was Eindhovenseweg. It's quite obvious when you try it out. 2. Rotterdam to Kinderdijk Follow road signs to get yourself to Ridderkerk and ask around for Ridderkerk ferry/boat stop. The ferry stop is hidden from the main road. So, do ask once you get close to it! The ferry is abt 2 euros and takes you to kinderdijk. 3. Kinderdijk to Dordrecht Follow road instructions and take the ferry at papendrecht, unless you are feeling adventurous. 4.Dordrecht to Breda This is tricky as there are loong stretches of road without any signs. I took the Krispijnseweg which goes on to S.M Hugo Van Hijnweg, and turned into Laan Der Verenigde Natie that goes onto Karel Doormanweg. Karel Doormanweg changes its name several times before joining into the beautiful Rijksstraatweg that leads onto the breathtaking Hollandsch Diep along the A16 expressway (Turn away from Rijksstraatweg to get to the Diep). Then follow the Ketelpolder West and go onto Steenweg (look for a secret shortcut through the grass patch to go under the flyover). After crossing the steenweg, I went on to Moerderdijkseweg (at the end of which I had 16 more Km to go), crossed over to Hoofdstraat (passes through Zevenbergschen Hoek village), which passes on to become the looong Driehoefijzersstraat, which passes on to become Bredeweg (Some indication tt i'm going in the right direction). I was then forced (by signboards to leave Bredeweg for Moerdijkseweg (where my bicycle chain came loose twice) which crosses the A59 expressway. Moerdijkseweg passed into the village of Terheijden where the road became Molenstraat. The village greeted me with a fantastic windmill. There is still about 8Km left for Breda. Molenstraat becomes Radhuistraat and passes on to Hoofdstraat which to my delight, goes on to be called Bredesweg! haha, very exciting road name changes! Bredesweg then enters into Breda, after passing by a small bridge. The road changes its name to Nieuwe Bredase Baan and then Terheijdenseweg which goes to Breda station.
