I had to go to Amsterdam on a scavenger hunt and make a quick video of myself riding a bike. I planned to just rent a bike for the day, but the sweet employees of MacBike let me borrow one for a few minutes while Todd made a hilarious video on my phone, complete with commentary. When my wallet was stolen from my bag later and I was without ANYTHING, Todd and the other employees let me use their wifi to make contact back home and figure out what my next steps would be. Todd helped me find the police station and everyone did their best to calm me down while I completely flipped out. I am SOSO grateful to the wonderful employees who helped turn my trip from a nightmare to a really enjoyable day. They are wonderful!

One day we rented some bikes from MacBike to go to Waterland. We would recommend splurging for the handbrake bikes instead of the footbrake ones. We also got the insurance for a couple extra euro, but it wasn’t necessary(thankfully). The staff at MacBike was very friendly and helpful. The price was also very reasonable. Just a note of caution… riding bikes in Amsterdam city centre on the way to the Ferry was pretty intimidating with cars, pedestrians, motorcycles and other bikes to be on the lookout for at all times. The experience was definitely worth it, but it is not as easy as it looks.

Convenient place to rent bikes — for 3hrs or 24hrs for just a few euros more. Kids bikes including kinder tandem for little kids who want to pedal(not be in a kids seat) but a little too young to ride on their own… Highly recommend

This is the new address of Mac Bike Marnixstraat. I didn’t pay attention if this shop already existed before or if it’s really a new M B location. I can only mention that I’ve spotted some familiar faces from the old shop. Unfortunately this one is not so close to my home like the other one but I wanted to give it a try. Another downside of the new location for me is that it’s in a way more frequented area, that’s why I couldn’t get my brake and lights fixed on the spot. Since I had to leave it there I got a leenfiets(think of bringing a legitimatie or credit card for that). With the red bike I immediately felt like a tourist and was tempted to behave accordingly. Lekker de verkeerde kant op fietsen in the middle of the street, stop and turn on the fietspad, just because I can. But I resisted. Today I got my bike back and my conclusion is that I can recommend this Mac Bike because of the friendly staff and good service.
