One of the most unique qualities about The Netherlands is the extensive use of the bicycle for everyday transportation. With endless kilometres of paved cycle paths and flat terrain, cycling is enjoyable, relaxing, practical, healthy and safe. One of the first and most important purchases you will make when moving The Netherlands is a bike. For quality and stylish bicycles of all kinds, look no further than De Fietsfabriek.

De fietsfabriek bikes

De Fietsfabriek specialise in city bikes, transport bikes and the authentic Dutch Bakfiets. They offer ready or custom made bicycles, repairs, maintenance, accessories, solutions and advice.

The Bakfiets is the best way to get around the city. It is safe and easy to drive. It’s a one-time investment with no returning fees, no parking problems and ensures you are always mobile. Plus, you’re doing something for the environment and your health by cycling instead of driving. Those unfamiliar with the typically Dutch Bakfiets will quickly notice that its highly practical cabin on the front of the bicycle makes transporting children and shopping an absolute dream, with the capacity to hold a maximum of 300 kilo’s in weight.

De Fietsfabriek guarantee quality, handcraft and expertise. With ten shops in The Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague, Breda, Haarlem, Alkmaar and four stores in Amsterdam) and shops spread about the globe (Copenhagen, Tokyo, Romania, Berlin, Stockholm and two stores in the USA,), De Fietsfabriek have the largest and most inspiring collection of Bakfiets and bicycles to suit any budget or style, and make to order according to the specific needs or wishes of the client.

“We do fully customised bicycles. Any design could be made. It all depends on your fantasy and, of course, your budget. We can even put wings on your design, but we can’t guarantee it’ll fly!”

De fietsfabriek

Choose from 38 funky colours and a huge array of styles to suit your individual tastes and requirements. You could have your name or company name punched into the frame of your bike to really make your bike uniquely your own.  Have a rack secured onto the front and have a wooden basket or plastic crate secured to safely carry your handbag, laptop or shopping items.

De Fietsfabriek also offer all kinds of maintenance and adjustment services to ensure your bike is in top condition. You don’t have to own a Fietsfabriek bike in order to have repairs done. The guys in the workshop also do repairs on other brands and can offer priceless solutions and advice as well. De Fietsfabriek also offer solutions and adjustments for people with handicap or physical limitations.

If you are looking for a second hand bike, why not drop by De Fietsfabriek and see what they have in stock? Any bikes sold second hand are checked to the highest standards for safety before leaving the shop, and you are guaranteed a great price.

If you are looking to invest in a new, quality bike but are only temporarily staying in The Hague, why not consider selling your second hand bike back to De Fietsfabriek to re-sell second hand? You are then guaranteed a great bike during your stay in The Netherlands with the security that once you have used it, it can then be passed on to someone else.

De Fietsfabriek opened on Laan van Meerdervoort in The Hague in February of this year. The Hague branch is owned by Alp Bozkurt and Levent Kahraman Together the two have long-standing experience in bicycle design, repairs and business management.
