Translation:

I am very lucky that my partner has similar ideas and interests about urban transport infrastructure and policy as I do.

More of a appreciation for a dutch thing tbh

If I can save for it I wanna take them on a bike tour around Amsterdam some day, basically a whole vacation of cruising the bike lanes like we found an IRL mariokart track

DON'T GO TO AMSTERDAM FOR THAT! Anywhere in the Netherlands is great for that, EXCEPT Amsterdam!
It's much closer to Mariokart than to cruising.

You should consider looking into a bike & barge trip. My parents have done a couple put together by a ski club that they're a part of, and it sounds like the kind of trip that you're talking about, only you wake up in a new place every day and bike ride to meet the barge further upriver at the end of the day. I know they do them in and out of Amsterdam, but my parents did one in the Loire River Valley and absolutely loved it.
