This was one of the most fun and unique experiences in amsterdam. Very inexpensive and a very easy process for rental. You can book ahead online, but my sister and i decided to walk in and they had the bikes already for us. They sized the bike to our height and they were in great condition. They gave us instructions on how to use the bike and how to properly follow the bike routes in amsterdam. I definitely am not the best biker but was able to maneuver around the city well. This bike shop is close to vondelpark which is great for biking around and enjoying the views. read more

Our search for a spare bicycle tube for our folding bike Friday's took on epic proportions as we have presta valves, and most Dutch bikes use a Dutch valve for 20 inch wheels. Eva had Bike City had only one such tube, but she was extraordinarily helpful and called several other shops for us trying to hunt one down. Very nice people run this shop and I'd highly recommend them. Thank you Eva! read more

We stumbled on this bike shop because the one closest to us was closed. Ava was super helpful, made sure the bikes were in good shape, and gave us great ideas for where to pedal the afternoon. We are so glad our first choice shop was closed! read more

Rented a nice bike here with friends. Reasonable prices with flexible return options. I paid in advance so that I could just drop it back off at the shop (locking it to nearby rack) after hours. Get the theft insurance as bike theft in Amsterdam is fairly common. My bike came with an easy to use lock and bungee cords for the rack so I could strap my backpack on it. Also the man was so nice and friendly love Amsterdam read more

Family were in town for the holidays and we needed bikes to take a ride out to Zaanse Schans. To be honest, BikeCity was the most expensive of the rentals we found online. However, the location was closest to us and we kept the bikes over night. More importantly though, is that the bikes are black and look extremely non-touristy. This was a plus! You know the tourists when you see them and to have bikes for the family that made them look Dutch, that's a good thing. Good service, nice location, affordable, and well maintained bikes. read more

Horrible experience with bike city. When I asked for my 8 years old son to try a rental bike to check the size, I was answered by a very rude owner about him wasting his time with " french bastards ". I tried to explain my concern about bike size and got insults again until I left with my family. Worst experience in Amsterdam in 20 years. read more

Great little bike shop in a great location. Awesome folks and one of the last bike rental place that still have classic single-gear Dutch bikes. read more

Bike City saved our trip to Amsterdam! My husband and I were in town for 10 glorious days and on day 1 we rented these terrible cruisers with pedal brakes from a crappy shop around the corner from where we were staying (NOT Bike City). The seats would not stay up, the bikes were bright red clearly indicating they were rentals, the tires repeatedly went flat, and the pedal brakes felt dangerous. We suffered a day with them, bringing back numerous times to attempt to remedy the situation. Ultimately we returned them at the end of the day and found ourselves at Bike City the following morning. Bike City was a quick easy rental process. The man who helped us (the owner?) even brought out an extra large bike frame for my super tall husband. He checked the tires, adjusted the seats, gave us tips on using the locks to prevent theft, and sent us on our way. Within a block we could both tell these were excellent bikes. They're not new (in a good way). They are a nondescript black with typical scratching from life in the bike racks of Amsterdam. The bikes held out very well for the remainder of our trip and my husband who is an amateur cyclist realized this bike rode even nicer than his at home. Now he sees the benefit of a larger frame and wants a new bike like his Amsterdam bike! Don't waste your time and money at other bike shops. Come to Bike City. The service and bikes are excellent and prices are competitive. Thank you Bike City! We'll be back! read more

I thought I loved everything about Amsterdam, that is until I went to rent a bike at bike city. The owner is a grumpy, rude and ill-mannered man, who should really learn how to treat his customers with respects instead of sending them running away. Disappointed. If you want to have your day ruined, I recommend you give it a visit. read more

I hate to write a negative review as the staff was nice and the bikes probably the best in Amsterdam. However, BEWARE of giving cash deposit. When I rented I was told I needed to give 50. My credit card info was taken. When I returned I was told the deposit is a credit card number OR government ID AND 50 Euros. I vividly remember giving the 50 Euros as it was the only 50 Euro note in my wallet for two previous weeks in Europe and remember I was happy to use it (I don't like notes larger than 20). I honestly believe it was an honest mistake. I argued for 5 minutes but did not want to make more of a scene. I wrote an email with detailed information including that I vividly remember handing over the 50 Euro note as well as the fact it was not only 50 Euro note I had and vividly remembered it. The response I got was that "there was a misunderstanding" (implied on my part), and the deposit policy was again quoted. When I returned I must be wrong as they "rent 100's of bikes". Since I rented only once and they rent 100's isn't it more likely they made a human error and failed to remember it? Anyway, I was ripped off, probably unintentionally, but ripped off nevertheless. And the fact that the error may have been on their part, even after I took the time to write an email, was not at all acknowledged. read more

Loved renting from these guys. Fast, cheap, and bike in excellent condition. I rented a 3 speed black cruiser and blended in with the locals. Rode out to Holysloot across the water. Beautiful ride. Also a blast riding the streets of Amsterdam. Did wonders for my peripheral vision. read more

Great experience and great bike rental place. Nice nondescript bicycles that don't scream "I'm a tourist." bikes are in excellent condition and they are high-quality. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Jordaan neighborhood rental spot. Excellent quality commuter bicycles kept in like-new condition and nice people working there.

Super friendly, no bike snobbery - had three of us set up and rolling in under 10 minutes and the bikes worked perfectly.

This past September, we rented two hybrid style bikes for a month, and used them to travel all around the Netherlands, down into Belgium, and down the Mosel river bike path in Germany. We put on about 800 km, and sometimes used the trains to get to where we wanted to go. Rob and Bart at Bike City do a great job. The bikes we rented were 8 speeds (plenty for the flat country) and were basically bullet-proof with good quality components and brakes...comfy seats too. We were VERY happy with the bikes and the entire experience renting from Bike City read more

Several weeks ago my friend and I started a 10 day cycling trip through the Netherlands. I had brought my own bike and my friend rented from Bike city. They not only allowed me to use their impeccable shop to assemble my bike but also let me store the rather large case and a roll on luggage. We took over their shop for almost an hour assembling and packing our belongings. They could not have been nicer. We talked bikes the whole time and we got tons of cycling info and places to not miss on our trip. the rental process was painless and precise. i read the post by a disgruntled Stuart K.and I have trouble believing it was the same shop. We had the exact opposite experience. Perhaps because we are seasoned travelers and are familiar with procedures we had nothing but the best interactions. My friends bike was hand built like a tank and was perfect. Highly recommended. Returning the bicycle was a breeze with no problems and again we took over the shop for an hour repacking etc.. Great bunch of guys who love cycling and travel. best tee shirt design ever also! read more
