Hello everyone!
I'm looking to purchase (or rent for a month) a used touring bike in the next week, preferably in Amsterdam or nearby areas. Ideal size is 52cm, and I'll be on pavement nearly all of the time.
Yes, I do know about Marktplaats and the innumerable bicycle stores in the Netherlands, but though I'd post here too.
So, if anyone has a bike I might be interested in, please let me know.
Thank you!
Kevin
hi Kevin
Maybe you can sent email to the bikeshops in Amsterdam (or ask your familie there to look around for a second had bicycle). For example you've http://www.vakantiefietser.nl/, but I think he doesn't have second hand, but you can ask.
You also can post your question on www.wereldfietser.nl (means world traveller); it's the Dutch side of enthousiast travellers by bicycle.
Good luck!
