"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. :(

If…read moreyou're staying near Leidseplein or even further, it's worth traveling down to Overtoom and getting your bike here. Email them first, they will reply.

They are fabulous. I rented a bike for 2+ weeks and probably rode 100 miles on that thing. It was awesome. They put a bag on it, adjusted the brakes halfway through and were so helpful. I will definitely rent from them next time or even buy from them if I move there.

We were encouraged to use this shop by Richard who works there, we had a reasonable shopping…read moreexperience and we agreed upon a bike, the price, and a lock. The bike was to be purchased with the payout by insurance for my stolen bike and would require we pay a top up of 30 Euro. Then as we went to get the bike we were told we owed another 80 Euro just for the bike, plus additional 30 for a lock. The reason being the type of insurance and insurance company charged the store 20% extra. We insisted this was not our burden, that the deal was struck and they should honour it: not charge us an additional 110 euros. In going back and forth with them, Nikolai was speaking with us and was extremely rude, treating myself and a friend with disrespect. I do not recommend this store to anyone!

I had high hopes for this place. They had some good brands and some of the common black bikes like…read moreCortina and Sparta. If you are looking for hybrid bikes with wagons and stuff, they have a ton of those. They do happen to have a bunch of different accessories - but not as much as you might think. Oh - they have a nice selection of Brooks Saddles and things. Problem I had was that I wanted to get a few things, and they gave a ton of attitiude. I helped my self for the most part, but when it came to things like 'paying' it was difficult getting attention let alone asking a question like - "Could I have a look at that saddle bag hanging from the ceiling please?" It's like they transported some fixie portland bike mechanic to Amsterdam. So many bike shops, plenty of other places to check out - but if you are in the area and need a bell, helmet, or hybrid this might be the place - albeit with a very cold attitude.

That is always a plus. We who are on a budget salute you who offer the "discount" word. It's a nice incentive to do business there and it has a nice ring and aftertaste to it.

He mentioned that they are open seven days a week from 8 am to 8 pm with the exception of "Queens day." They're located very near Leidseplain and also have several other locations around Amsterdam.

I can only mention that I've spotted some familiar faces from the old shop. Unfortunately this one is not so close to my home like the other one but I wanted to give it a try. Another downside of the new location for me is that it's in a way more frequented area, that's why I couldn't get my brake and lights fixed on the spot. Since I had to leave it there I got a leenfiets (think of bringing a legitimatie or credit card for that). With the red bike I immediately felt like a tourist and was tempted to behave accordingly. Lekker de verkeerde kant op fietsen in the middle of the street, stop and turn on the fietspad, just because I can. But I resisted. Today I got my bike back and my conclusion is that I can recommend this Mac Bike because of the friendly staff and good service.
