Amsterdam to Basel by bike
I am looking for some help please. My Inlaws are heading off on a bike
holiday in Europe in August and will be riding from Amsterdam to Basel in Switzerland. They are hoping to buy bikes in Amsterdam and then sell them in Switzerland (they have relatives there who have contacts at a few bike shops, so offloading them shouldn't be to much of an issue). So if anyone knows of some bike shop names (preferably if there is a website or an email address) so they can organise something before they leave Oz. They will most likely be looking for Hybrid bikes currently riding Giant hybrids when they tour here. Any info would be a great help |

They will most likely be looking for Hybrid bikes currently riding Giant hybrids when they tour here. Where abouts are they going to arrive in The Netherlands? There's at least half a dozen bikeshops in any city, and a few in more significant towns. The last two times we've started in Haarlem. It's a beautiful city, and a great place to start a bicycle tour. We like to have a couple of rest-days at the beginning to get into the local time-zone; especially with the kids, it shakes them up a bit. I can offer some route advice too, we've toured Haarlem-Munich (via Strassbourg) and Haarlem-Dijon (via Paris). Sounds like they're going to follow the Rhine river? cheersbigears, -kt -- Kingsley Turner, http://MadDogsBreakfast.com/ABFAQ - news:aus.bicycle Frequenly Asked Questions |

Any info would be a great help If you want any help by local bikers, who do also these kind of trips. See www.wereldfietser.nl (worldbikers) which is the Dutch website for bikers who go around (the world). Ask an quetsion on there site (yes you can ask in English and we will answer in English) The route Amsterdam - Basel is also written out (to bad it is in dutch). But maybe you can ask the publicer at www.cyclingeurope.nl Greetings Olav (The Netherlands, (southern part)) |

It's TOO easy to find good bikes and bikeshops in Amsterdam upon arrival. Probably better to do in person anyway. If you want secondhand, try the BikeShop hat takes up the first laneway on your right, off DamStraat, as you leave the Palace Square -DAM- Area (approx 500m south of Centraal Station along Damrak, if you are catching train from Shiphol Airport). or more logically, walk out of centraal station, go straight ahead approx 500m along Damrak (tramlines up middle), get to DAM plein (big open 'sqaure' with palace on your right...). Head to far left corner which is DamStraat. Go to first alley on your right (Waffle shop on corner!) and the laneway is basically one big bikeshop!!! OR http://www.beekhoven-bikes.nl/ good range and have 2ndhand bikes too ORRR go to 'The bike bridge' and pick one up for about 5euro -- flyingdutch |
