Questions
Everything you need to decide.
Do I need to book online, or can I walk in?
Either works. Booking online requires payment and guarantees your bike, which we recommend for weekends and the April–September stretch. Walk-in is welcome at both shops too, subject to availability, and you pay at the desk.
Do I have to pay when I book online?
Yes. Online bookings are paid in advance to secure your bike. Prefer to pay on arrival? Just walk in at either shop.
What do I need to bring?
Just a deposit per bike: €20 by card, or €75 in cash. No ID, no paperwork.
What if it rains?
Amsterdam locals cycle in the rain. It's kind of part of the experience. We have rain ponchos at the shop for €3 if you'd rather stay dry.
Can I return the bike to a different location?
Yes, both shops accept returns from each other for a €1,95 fee per bike. Just let us know at pickup so we can confirm closing times (De Kolk closes at 17:30; Station closes at 20:00).
