TIPS FOR BIKING THE BEACHES OF HOLLAND

Make beach cycling a fun experience

TIPS FOR BIKING THE BEACHES OF HOLLAND - LSRF

Infinite horizons, roaring waves, the wind playing with the sand and the sea foam. If you are up in the north and you are lucky, you can spot seals too. Taking your bike to the beach can be a great experience for anyone, who doesn't live close to the coast. For others, it is a weekly thing as part of their winter training, but never a dull one.

Fall is here and that means it is okay again to ride your bike on the beach all day. Whereas in summer, bikes aren't allowed on most beaches between 9 am and 7 pm, you can now end your ride in the dunes with a nice long stretch on the sandy shores. Take your mountainbike, gravel bike or special beach bike and make sure the tires are wide and low-profile and keep the pressure down, below the 1.0 bar. 

Biking the beach can be fun and fast, or grueling slow and tiring, depending on the tide and the wind direction. To enjoy yourself to the fullest, be aware of those elements, when designing your route. Unexpected holes in shallow water after high tide can be tricky, even though the best place to bike is next to the water. And please remember to share the beach with others, including dogs... They also get to enjoy life without a leash between those hours ;)

Finding the exact regulations per community can be difficult, but Google is your best friend in this case. Also, at the beach entrances, you can find a sign with all the info you need. Generally speaking, we would say you are free to ride all day until May1st.
