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 — recommended for weekends and April–September. Walk-in is welcome at both shops, 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. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and you'll get a full refund.
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?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. We also have rain ponchos available at the shop for €3.
Can I return the bike to a different location?
Yes — both shops accept returns from each other. Just let us know at pickup so we can confirm closing times (De Kolk closes at 17:30; Station closes at 20:00).
