Looking for a bike rental, we went to this one on October 30, 2025, based on the good reviews.
The employee there was polite and informed me about the formalities and costs.
3 adult and 2 children's bikes, plus 2 children's helmets and 1 phone holder, cost €98 for 24 hours, plus a passport or a €250 deposit via credit card.
(I chose the credit card for security reasons.) When we picked up the bikes, we immediately pointed out that the brakes on one of them weren't working very well, but the employee said it was fine and refused to give us a different bike. Since we had already paid, we reluctantly took the bike anyway.
Unfortunately, we only discovered during our first ride that several of the bikes had underinflated tires (we fixed this ourselves at a bike shop along the way).
The worst part, however, was that only one of the five bikes had a working light system; all the others had either no lights or broken ones, forcing us to ride practically invisible through the Amsterdam dusk, which was absolutely unacceptable with our two small children.
We explained the problems to the employee the next day when we returned the bikes, but he simply dismissed them with the excuse, "That's the technician's job; he comes twice a week, so it's not his fault."
Yes, the rental prices seem quite reasonable for Amsterdam, but the bikes are woefully inadequate, and we would never book with them again! Stay away from this shop! read more
