Polder meditation
Cycling in the polders bring you in a meditative state which is good for creative thoughts and cooking up new ideas. This path is most likely 50 years old and will not be up for renovation any time soon. Obviously cars cannot go here. Look around you, with your mouse, mobile phone or otherwise, it is in 360.

Showing off electric bike behind Rijksmuseum
Electric supported bicycles come in 2 flavors: Pedelecs that support the cyclist to speed up top 25km/hour and Speed Pedelecs that are basically electric mopeds in bicycle guise; they can (theoretically) go up to 45km/hour. Sales of both types of bikes have sky rocketed since a few years but since corona intense. This proves that using a big car for a simple errant or commuting is elementary stupid. And it is cheaper and healthy, and you meet nice people.

Polder road
Just a polder road. What a polder is? I take the Brittanica definition, although one might want to detail bits better: Polder, tract of lowland reclaimed from a body of water, often the sea, by the construction of dikes roughly parallel to the shoreline, followed by drainage of the area.
