Netherlands - free "bicycle replacement" bus service

[radamfi]

The 32 km Afsluitdijk cycle path, which is to the side of the motorway crossing between Noord-Holland and Friesland provinces in the north of the Netherlands, is closed for three years so that extensive water works can take place. So a free hourly bus service is being provided, which can carry up to 15 bikes and 30 people.

Aye, the Col of the Low Countries. Did it with my dad some sixty years ago. Mad.
Don't know how this bus works out, you can't make reservations - quite right as that would restrict your timings - but if the bus is full you don't want to be waiting for another hour in the cold rain

...or for a far nicer experience - cycle down to Stavoren and get the ferry to Enkhuizen - pile your bike on with a few dozen others and enjoy a sail across
