Haarlem location of an Amsterdam based bike shop. I bought my first ever Dutch bike from ZFP in…read moreAmsterdam and I've only ever had a good experience. They have every sort of bike and price level that you want, depending on if you just want a reasonably priced city bike or a fancy racing bike. When you buy a bike here you get a free check-up on it after 2 or 3 months to make sure everything's working fine. They also have a pretty good selection of bike accessories from lights to baskets to bells to bags. I bought their cheapest model city bike and I've been really happy with it. It rides really comfortably, and the price was very competitive with other bike stores. Become a member for free to get a discount on your purchases!

This is THE place to buy or rent bikes in Leiden. It's a family run business with two shops, one on…read moreHogewoerd and a bigger one at Haven. You can buy new or second hand bikes, get your bike repaired or rent a bike for a fiver a day. Everyone working here is friendly and helpful, and completely honest. I'd had a few bad experiences with different bike rental/repair places in Leiden massively overcharging and being very unhelpful, but these guys are a pleasure to deal with and are always up front and reasonable about costs. I've been using Budget Bikes every time I've visited Leiden in the past three years and never had a bad experience.

"Damn a flat tire!" belongs to the standard vocabulary of most people living in Amsterdam. So I was…read morenot surprised to find a startup called like that, offering mobile bike fixing service. But I WAS surprised that in bike city no one came up with this idea erlier. I saved their number on my mobile phone despite my naive hope that I'll never have to call them. Shortly after I had to and I was thankful to hear that one of them was in the hood and I didn't have to wait too long. The guy came equipped with spare wheel, bike pump and toolset. The bike was quickly fixed and I don't remember what the service cost but I do remember that it is very good value for money and no extra urgency charge. So, I recommend everyone to save the number of DAFT to get quick hassle-free help in bike emergencies.

Super friendly staff and very professional. I will definitely use them again. The bike technician…read morewas even there a few minutes early and beat me to the spot since of course I got blocked by a draw bridge, then a closed road, but he called me and we met up shortly after. He went above and beyond to fix my husband's bike. He put the pedal crank back on, tightened a few things and oiled the chain. Very nice guy. I emailed them over a holiday weekend, so it took a little while to get a response since we had to go back and forth a bit. Very convenient, but I had to wait an extra day since they couldn't meet me until after 11am. And even though I asked for the price ahead of time, they forgot to send it to me. Though, I think the cost was reasonable. I would just make sure you know the price before you go if it's not already on the price list. You can pay in cash or they will invoice you and you can transfer the funds that day. They have an app, but it's iOS only for now. :(

Fantastic service! Very nice gentleman helped me with my bike. Picked up a bike lock and batteries…read morefor my light. Made an adjustment to my brakes as well. I will be coming back here for service and highly recommended. Large assortment of used bikes for sale.
