Bicycle shops
With so many bicycles in Holland, it's not surprising that you find bicycle shops everywhere, even in tiny villages. Some smaller shops focus on everyday cycling, others specialise in more adventurous types of bikes.
Bicycle rental
At tourist sites, your accommodation, train stations, bike repair shops - you will find somewhere to rent a bicycle wherever you are in Holland. Renting a bicycle is easy and not that expensive. It can save you the hassle of bringing your own bike along.
Bicycle repair
Flat tyre, chain come off, faulty breaks? Breakdowns do happen, but rarely in front of a bicycle repair shop. So bring your own repair kit and make sure you can do minor repairs yourself. If you need professional assistance, you’ll find a bicycle repair shop in most places.
Bicycle parking
