One of many small paths in an area of mixed heath and forest just a couple of minutes cycle from the city of Assen. Anyone can escape the city and get out into some greenery on their bikes with ease.
While all these paths are well surfaced, a couple of metres wide, smooth and usable in any weather. They fall a bit short of the standard for commuting paths, but bear in mind that they are intended for leisure only. A consequence of building a new housing development is not only that developers are expected to put in paths suitable for commuters, but that they will also provide such leisure paths.
(exact position difficult to work out! It's one of these...)
Nearly a year later, this rather better video was made in much the same location:
