Got back from my trip yesterday and I must say cycling around there this time of year was completely fine. Between following all the cycle signs, asking locals for directions, and occasionally checking my phone's GPS, it was pretty straightforward most of the time.
For the cycle from Amsterdam to Utrecht I was recommended a scenic route going via Waver but what I quickly realised is you need to sometimes ignore the signs pointing to Urecht as they are going to take you a direct and less scenic route.
I'll definitely have to go again, and this time get the ferry instead of flying. Flying worked out a bit too extensive in the end as British Airways now charge £40 each way for extra bags, and then I had to pay 50 euros to store my bicycle bag at the airport for a week.
If you're happy to ride through the winter here it's the same, but maybe a little colder and maybe wetter. Definitely windier. With the right kit you'll be fine.
