  • “Good flexible company”

    Black bikes provide good quality bikes and organisation. Fair price and flexible over our timing. Insurance and locks additional and mandatory cost. Multiple locations to drop off bikes. Choice of back pedal brakes or handle bar brakes. Latter cost more. Back pedal easy to use.

  • “Best way to get to know the city”

    We rented 2 bikes, one single and one cargo bike where I took my 2 kids. (8 and 6)
    All bikes have gears so it is not tiring and you can ride for hours,
    I recommend this. We rented our bike in the red light district area. The manager was very nice. If you are renting a cargo bike, I recommend booking it in advance.

  • “Highly Recommended”

    Amsterdam is a city that you can see every part easily with a simple bike. They are here for this. Prices are cool and the bikes are well usable. You sign up online easily with a computer make your payment take your bike and go. If you are staying at the center, i highly recommend renting a bike. Car parking is very very expensive and they have strict rules.
