Good bikes, and service. Fair prices

We had a great fun cycling around Amsterdam's canals and historic sites. Urban biking is not for the faint of heart, but In a city where cyclists have the right of way, it's an excellent way to get around. Bike City provide bikes with good...More

TERRIBLE PLACE CRIMINAL PRICES

This company charges tourists criminal prices when a bike is returned damaged. They charged 100 Euro’s just to replace a broken wheel rim: 40(!) for the rim, and 60 for labor costs. These are (very high) commercial prices. Legally, when you return a bike broken,...More

Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of
tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists
and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the
best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe.
Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops
of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones
Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods
such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring
