Our ride to Kinderdijk and its surrounding area takes you through the iconic polder (land below sea level) landscape of the Netherlands. Kinderdijk itself has 19 historic windmills and is categorized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It attracts visitors from all over the world. The ride around the area starts at a ferry crossing at the river Lek. From here you ride on dykes, through residential areas, along small channels and beautiful green farmland. You mostly ride on bike paths shared with pedestrians. Sometimes you ride segments of gravel. You pass cows grassing and windmills scattered along the route. Once you have passed the Windmills at Kinderdijk, you ride along the river Lek. The ride ends at a ferry crossing. The ride is almost flat and car-free. It is the perfect ride for beginners or intermediate riders.
In this ride-along video, you ride at the speed of a trained cyclist. If you want to ride at your own speed, please look below for how you can make that possible with our indoor cycling app Open Road.

Dive into an immersive indoor cycling experience with our training app ’Open Road’ for Windows. The app transforms your effort into speed and lets you ride the ride as if it were a real outdoor ride. With the app, you get a better and more realistic indoor cycling experience compared to our ride-along videos on KZread. The app is compatible with all ANT+ cycling devices, including smart trainers, power meters, and speed sensors. Athletes with spinning and exercise bikes without ANT+ compatibility can control the speed manually and enjoy riding with all the important cycling data such as altitude, distance, speed, heart rate, etc. displayed during the training session.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we have added no music. Instead, we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute KZread and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, KZread, etc.) pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride.
