The F12 is a fast cycle route of almost 18 km from Woerden to Utrecht, via Harmelen and De Meern. Existing cycle connections were improved and linked up for it, so commuters get priority more often. In Utrecht you ride past Park Oog in Al and the Molenpark. A quarter is cycle path, the rest mostly road and street, and most of it is asphalt. We know of three water taps and a food stall on the way, but no toilet.
