Rijwielhandel Oud-West

Every neighborhood has to have a bike shop in Amsterdam, right? Well, I think this will be ours. I saw it on Unilocal and I saw it while biking and when we desperately needed to go our bikes worked on this is where we went.
When we arrived, there was commotion next door with police, fire trucks and an ambulance… still not sure what that was about, but the guys who worked in the shop were all in the doorway curious to what was going on. BUT, when we walked up they said hello and we asked if they could work on our bikes. They said «of course!» and inside we went. They didn’t waste any time looking them over, and asked what we needed and wanted.
I bought a nice bike in Amsterdam, so I wanted to keep it taken care of, so I got my brakes tightened, battery in my light replaced, kickstand tightened, and a replacement tiny plastic piece that kept my fender on straight.
My husband brought a mountain bike over from the states which needed a lot more work, fenders added, brake pads replaced, tires rotated, and I think a few other things.
We took both bikes in around noon and they said we could pick them up by 3pm. Yes! That was perfect. I think they price was a little high and I will be more try to understand the pricing better next time, but I am very happy with the service and we will be back.
Quick allergy alert: A lovable dog lives here and they do smoke inside the business. As someone with allergies to both, I just want people to be aware. But I was in and out so quick, that it wasn’t a big problem.
