These bikes were very good with comfortable seats and easy to use locks - also great value. We didn't have to leave a deposit which was very trustworthy. This is a great way to see Bruges as it is a cycle friendly city and there are plenty of places to park the bikes and visit attractions. The guy who rented... More

Just up road from hotel on Maria Straat; very comfortable bikes, hired one for 4 hours, gave us an extra 1/2 hour free too. Also has scooters and tandems - though wouldn't have tried these in the immediate city. We cycled everywhere - inner roads, canal sides, got lost, fell off bike (watch out for slippery curbs - hehe).

The attitude of the elderly man behind the counter really took the edge off a lovely day. There is nothing wrong with the bikes and the prices didn't seem too bad but the owner (I imagine) has a distinct lack of social skills. My friend wrote his name in the box marked hotel and vice versa - you would have... More

We thought this place was terrific. My partner and I came with our 70+ year old mothers and rented 2 tandems for 4 hours. What a hoot! We found the guy behind the counter incredibly friendly and helpful. He got us quickly set up, gave us a map with a tour outlined, and even took my mom around the block... More

Great place with several rental plans (8 euros for 4 hours or 12 euros a day).... go for the 4 hour plan if you are not used to riding a bicycle! The owner is gruff but friendly, the bikes are in great condition with easy locking systems and bike bags included. This is a wonderful way to see the city... More

Very little bike rental shop in the centre of Bruges, you can't be more in the centre. I live in Bruges and when my bike brakes down, I go there. They give a good service and the prices are honest. You can rent bikes for a couple of hours, half a day, whole day.... You get al the information you... More

After days of walking around Brugge, which is simply beautiful, we decided to rent bikes on our last day. Wow! This bike ride made the trip magical! Riding along the canals is easy and virtually traffic free. The Bikes at this shop are very easy to use, considering I had not been on a bike in several years. Eric Popelier... More
