Cycling in Drenthe ..... on stamps.
Last January, we spent a midweek in Borger to enjoy some beautiful bike rides somewhere else. As a cycling enthusiast, it is nice to know that regional postal services exist in Drenthe as well. Even nicer is that I know a collector of regional and local stamps who sends me his new discoveries. Bert, thank you for our cycling contacts.
Business Post from Drachten…is your best partner in postal delivery. They deliver on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

That was a nice week in Drenthe. Recently, we spent a midweek in Central Limburg. We enjoyed some lovely cycling there too, but didn't come across any cycling statues and/or bicycle stamps.
