About Bill's BikeTour

Inspired in high school by myths and tales of ancient Greek and Roman gods, I developed an interest in storytelling at an early age. An international honors college was a logical next step.
I see cycling as a journey of discovery along the many faces of Amsterdam. Riding a bike in any type of typically Dutch weather and sharing the Dutch culture and identity is like being on a permanent holiday in my own country. Who wouldn’t want that?!
