ABC Bicycle Tour – a user’s guide
1. You can go with our wonderful guide Dido and her helpers.
Meet Dido at 12:45 at start of the pedestrian bridge which leads up to the Bimhuis. Dido will take you to each venue, where you can hear the first set of each concert, beginning at Atelier 5, Zuiderzeeweg 31, and ending at De Ruimte, Distelweg 83.
If you love the music and want to stay for a second set, that’s not a problem. At the end of the second set, one of the volunteers stationed at each venue will take you on to the next place.
2. You can go on your own. Use the information below to put together your own tour.
