Holland Amsterdam Bike City
●History
Bike City is located in the heart of the beautiful Jordaan district of Amsterdam, in the basement of a renovated canal house, where as early as 1938, locals stored their bicycles. Houses here have narrow and very steep staircases, so storing your bike indoors has never been an easy option. Bike City was set up in 1994, and has been providing a reliable and friendly bike rental and repair service ever since. Bike City is an environmental friendly business. We ensure that all our waste is separated and recycled, wherever possible: be it cardboard, metal, rubber, batteries or chemicals. We also aim to minimize packaging materials of products in stock.
