Bicycle: a means of transport between cake-stops

"Take half as much luggage and twice as much cash."
This is what luggage for a 12-day cycling holiday looks like, Ben-style. One side is all bike gear, the other a mix of clothing, technology and toiletries - plus map and passport. We're staying at guesthouses, so no camping gear needed. Last year I took clothing for four days and did laundry every third day, which worked well enough, so doing the same again.
The book is just for scale - no room for that, will be reading ebooks on my iPhone, which is surprisingly do-able.
Last year we cycled Hook of Holland to Esbjerg, so this year we're picking up very vaguely where we left the Netherlands last time and cycling the rest of a lap of the country, loosely following the Ronde van Nederland route. Leaving on Sunday night as I have to abseil off a building first.
